Comment (by eschnett):

 The .cfg files are stored outside of Cactus. The intent is that a Cactus
 configuration is independent of these files and does not automatically
 pick up changes, so that one can keep Cactus configurations around for a
 long time without major changes, e.g. if finishing a long-running
 calculation.

 If you want to make Cactus pick up the changes, you have to use the
 simfactory option "--optionlist=NAME.cfg". Similar for the .sub and .run
 files.

 The .ini files are only part of simfactory, and changes to them take
 effect immediately.
