Comment (by nickm):

 >nickm - Am I right? Is there any way we can have the command line
 HashedControlPassword not override the torrc value, but be treated as an
 additional password, like it was in 0.2.4.x?

 I believe this part of the manpage is what you need:

 {{{
 By default, an option on the command line overrides an option found in the
 configuration file, and an option in a configuration file overrides one in
 the defaults file.

 This rule is simple for options that take a single value, but it can
 become
 complicated for options that are allowed to occur more than once: if you
 specify four SOCKSPorts in your configuration file, and one more SOCKSPort
 on
 the command line, the option on the command line will replace __all__ of
 the
 SOCKSPorts in the configuration file.  If this isn't what you want, prefix
 the option name with a plus sign, and it will be appended to the previous
 set
 of options instead.

 Alternatively, you might want to remove every instance of an option in the
 configuration file, and not replace it at all: you might want to say on
 the
 command line that you want no SOCKSPorts at all.  To do that, prefix the
 option name with a forward slash.
 }}}

 So if you say "+HashedControlPassword foo" on the command line, it will
 append to the old list of HashedControlPasswords rather than replacing it.
