I was trying to think of a better way to serialize the parameters to a particular instances of the bot, but didn't come up with anything great. One idea would be to have the configuration file support having a block for each search, and use the names defined there. E.g.
[twitter_search_foo]
search_terms = ...
[twitter_search_bar]
twitter_name = ...

This PR removes the necessity to have to internal config files in twitterbot, by using different keys for searches and twitter_names in the same file.
This does also fix #697 in the same way.
