[Opensim-users] opensim config files

[James Hughes]

OpenSim is modular and the modules don't tent to know much about each 
other and they pull the parts from the ini's they need individually. 
But, we expand variables when it is finished reading the files...

You should be able to define a directory or ip address that is used 
several times, then place variables in the places that it is needed.

This is a real pain when you need to change something and it is not at all obvious whether some of the repeats mean something different and should not be changed.    I guess it is a property of the old-school config file format.  But whatever, it makes configuration and especially changes to same messy and error-prone.  Any good way to help it?
