Well there needs to be some way of selecting the config file for the
relevant satellite.

I agree that average Joe wouldn't know what to put here - but then he
wouldn't know what to put for most of the (currently) confusing options.

As part of the interface improvements I'm planning, I hope to provide a drop
down list in a proper 'Scan' dialog.
But for now I think I need this option. Unless there's some other way I
should be handling this?

Will split out into a separate patch.

Where's it leaking? .psz_name is allocated on the heap.

Indeed. WIll fix.
