The "portable mode" option in the QT client is misleadingly represented as a checkbox in the UI but it doesn't map to a true/false setting anywhere in the program. What that checkbox does, behind the scenes, is an ACTION, not a setting: it relocates the configuration, keys and data files from the program directory (portable mode) to the user's home directory (non-portable mode), or the other way round.
How would a "portable mode" command-line argument work, and how would it be different from setting BITMESSAGE_HOME to the program directory?

true, one can set BITMESSAGE_HOME , does not even have to be an extra line in a bash script. Same effect.
