config.h

High-level, hardwired system configuration.

This is a sensitive file that contains a lot of values that are hardwired into the system. In fact, it contains almost all of the values that aren't readily configurable by the end user (erm, Sysop).

You can change these, but you shouldn't do so after your system has compiled and ran for the first time. Oh, unless you're into heavy wizardry and/or pain (to misquote Larry Wall).

Subsequent documentation will clearly note which options can be frobbed and at what stage. But take it with a pinch of salt. Anything that isn't documented is almost certainly a no-no.

Original banner, legalese and change history follow.
