[Michael M Slusarz]

Robin has reported he has solved this in a different manner.  But for  
purpose of archive and education, I answer some of his questions below.

A config file.  Or a hook.

Most of my clients want all their configuration in a single place, if

special about the directory, other than the fact that is generally the  
only place an installation will ever need to change the local files.
