Description
I'd be great if proxychains read options from env too, overriding the configuration in files.
When wanting to start more than one proxychains with a different config, then creating a separate file for each is not really reqired since these files will ever be used once. Setting variables like "PORT=$some_port proxychains $some_cmd" would be much nicer.

Research direction
Start by locating how proxychains reads its configuration files and how the proxychains command receives options. Identify which settings should be accepted from environment variables and how they should override file values. Done means a command such as PORT=$some_port proxychains $some_cmd uses the environment value without requiring a separate configuration file.
