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. | |
