To allow standalone or monolithic configurations, have each individual 
configuration be run through a filter which can insert global definitions.

Something like having in each directory a file with those definitions which is 
run through an "awk" script to create the actual configuration file.  The "awk" 
script is first fed the local file and also a global configuration file (if one 
exists), with global overriding local.

The environment for doing this just has to know where the global configuration 
file might be -- the default might be in the parent directory.
