A couple things.  As we have discussed directly, I am not a coder; 
haven't coded since working with 'B' on Honeywells in the mid-80s. So 
looking at 'C' code is a bit of a struggle.  That said,

Given these supported names, what goes into the config file to create a 
SAN without having to specify it on the command line?

And further it seems you are saying there is no support for HMN at all.
