Description

As the title suggests, It would be great if one could divide the configuration for multiple files and include them relatively to ~/.config/khal in the master config file.
This would enable having multiple configuration files (which could be chosen with --config) without writing multiple times the same common configuration values.

Research direction

Start by tracing the --config entry point and how the master config is loaded relative to ~/.config/khal. Determine how relative includes and shared configuration should interact with selecting separate configuration files. Done means a master config can include other files and multiple configs can reuse common values without duplication.
