13 -------------------

15 Config files are useful for (IMHO) A. complicated setup;
16 B. reproducibility; C. being able to share run time configurations
17 The latter is only useful if the configuration contains nothing
18 machine-specific (e.g. the path to an executable might vary from
19 machine to machine) or if the configuration is overridable from the
20 command line.
