strlen is a bad bad idea.  if you only want to see if it's non-empty, check 
the first byte.

What about to pass the configuration file on the command line instead of
an environment variable ? Something like "fw_env -c /etc/fw_config", for
example ? IMHO it is easier to understand and we can add documentation
in the "help" message.

Best regards,

Good suggestion, I prefer that too.

I'll correct this in the next revision.

Thanks for reviewing the code!
