I would argue that this makes sense for inetsim: If you want to run it
from the command line to test something, you would do that in a new
folder and make a configuration specifically for that. The
data/log/report will then not "mix" with other experiments.

If we want them to always log to those directories and use the
respective configuration files, we can patch lib/INetSim/Config.pm
instead.
