I think it makes sense since it is completely driven by its config and adheres to the Unix philosophy of doing one thing well and not clutter the binary with additional stuff for fringe use cases. It would make the now surprisingly simple cli arguments more complex.

It should be trivial to write a shell script or alias that templates `root $(pwd);` and invokes `nginx -c /tmp/nginx.conf`

Nginx? Really? "One" thing? Try running `./configure --help` in the Nginx source dir...
