user questioning

[nestu]

Hi, everyone ;)
I have had some [very late, very short and very sleepy] 
thought about user questioning (ok, maybe you dislike it at 
all, but consider it a little brainstorm...):

* I dunno if a unique file with default module wide options 
has been ageed , but why not have it?

* IAC, one or many files, we could keep it cleanly separated 
in 2 parts:
¬ Default options, maybe with a subset "necessary" ( 
necessary =  do *never* change ) options. Maybe necessary 
options 	should not even be available to be changed (upon 
second unbuffered thought...)
¬ Extended options ( commented out, and uncommenting enables 
them ?).

* Make a small "elin" dialog script to change options before 
actually linning, that would update the option file(s).
¬ If finally the options are kept in various files, the user 
wouldn't have to search, and would know inmediately what 
options (s)he'd have available and could change (w/o knowing 
the internals, and thus less probabilities of breaking 
things). This would not interfere in a normal lin, AFAICS.
¬ The option files would have to keep a readable format.

* Does a change in a linned module A (added an option to the 
default) have to propagate to the linned as depedencies 
module B? Say for example you set a $Prefix (a hand made 
change) in  A. When parsed the options file(s) from the 
dependency module B, check if the variable is set (in this 
case $Prefix), and if so use it; if not, just use the the 
default $Prefix in B's option file(s).  My point is that (in 
this example) the $Prefix could go in to a option file. 
Maybe this is the case of  'profile' modules, and it could 
be a way of setting profile modules wide settings. (Maybe 
I'm *really* late on this, and errrr... this is sounding a 
little OT :\ ).

* Dunno if I talk too much, say too little, and what I ask 
for is impossible :\ ( no comments to this point, please :þ )

If this is half understandable, that means I'm nearly there 
:þ Thanks for the patience! ;)
CU,
