Well, I would be to blame for this.

Currently not. I did not think about this. But I suppose it can be added, no problem.

But when I do domething like that, then only the backend options would be allowed 
to differ. I see no need to put all options in backend-specific option sets:
the input files etc. should not differ per back-end.

A simpler solution could also be the support for an include of a separate file. 
Then you could put common things (list of files) in one file, and create 
top-level files per format you want to produce.
