If you are considering that, then I would suggest a "better way" (I
think that it's better), it would be to do like rawtherapee. When
outputing a JPEG or TIFF, it offers to also create the settings file.

Rawtherapee uses .PP3 instead of XML but it's the same. 

rawfile01.cr2 ==> jpeg-of-rawfile01.jpg and jpeg-of-rawfile01.jpg.out.pp3
