FWIW I found the way that tla uses configs to be somewhat confusing.  As
far as I could tell, the config file has to live in an arch project, and
the name that you specify is interpreted relative to the top level of
that project rather than the current directory.  Giving an absolute path
(e.g. ~/configs/getogg as you say below) doesn't seem to work at all.

Rob's config-manager does more and seems friendlier to use, so I'd
advise taking a look at that rather than messing around with tla buildcfg.

It'd probably be a good idea to specify an archive name too, so that
your config would work for people whose default archive is different to
yours.
