Maybe my scripting skill are a bit rusty but how is the
new defaults/custom file loading going to work?

The only value that I normally change is the GLOBAL_DIR setting.
When I create the custom file, will it contain just the GLOBAL_DIR
variable or do I need to copy the entire defaults file and
change just the one variable?

I'm guessing that I need to do the later because of all the
variables that depend on the value of GLOBAL_DIR (like DOCS_DIR).
They will be set before the custom file is sourced and their
value won't change when I reset the value of GLOBAL_DIR.

Hmm, I guess I'll have to be more careful than that.  I won't
want an exact copy of defaults as that would call all the add_step
functions again.

In an attempt to answer my own question...  If I want to change the
value of GLOBAL_DIR then I will put it and all the variable that
depend on it into the custom file, but nothing else.  It isn't enough
to put just GLOBAL_DIR into custom.

Is that correct?

Thanks,
Kevin.
