It doesn't ignore it: it works just fine, if you get the option right, and
gives you a syntax error if not. Observe:
~ $ d AutoBld/
/home/dk/AutoBld/:

~ $ echo "arfle barfle gloop" > ~/.d.conf

d: runtime error in parse_opt_cfg(): Invalid syntax in ".d.conf" at line 1!
Unrecognized option!

This could well be a case of YMMV.
