I've been trying to modify my mkl.py file to achieve this, however your configuration system is a little bit complex, so if you code give some guidelines to achieve this or files to look how to do it would be great.

   Make a pull request with all your current stuff and we can look at how you've organized it and make suggestions. Otherwise it is too much email guess work with incomplete information.
