looks like you put global constants in the bootstrap.php file.

------------------
This file is ideal for a number of common bootstrapping tasks:
   1. Defining convenience functions
   2. Registering global constants
   3. Defining additional model, view, and controller paths
------------------

BUT for variables like the number of search results per page.  Would
you put that in your bootstrap file too or as a design preference add
it to the Configure namespace?
