Donna's answer is correct, you can and should use the scour program itself
if you want to use multiple scour configs. However, if you want to use
ldmadmin as a wrapper you'd have to ask for an upstream change or hack it
yourself, it's not a complicated function.

If you're on the latest ldm it will read the settings in registry.xml. You
could probably expand that a little to be an array of entries if you wanted.

Scour itself is just a small bash script, so take a look at it. Maybe you
can find some other usage to fit your needs.

Hope this answers your questions.
