Which options can you pass as the third parameter of Mage::run()?

Question

Magento is started by running Mage::run() in index.php. Mage::run has three parameters: $code, $type, and $options. The first two are well-documented but I can't find anything about the third: $options.

I did read somewhere that you can move your etc directory to another place, but what other options can I set? I hope I can set the theme package; that's what I have been looking for.

Answer 1

I haven't personally used the third argument but after some investigation I've found out that they are used to set the Mage_Core_Model_Config options: I've made a var_dump with the options and it looks something like this:

//excerpt from var_dump() of Mage_Core_Model_Config_Options

        array
          'app_dir' => string '/var/www/magento/app' (length=36)
