| 12 Configuration Files | |
| 13 ------------------- | |
| 14 | |
| 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. | |
