The thing is, if you put the default in a file, it's because you
expect these to change, at least more often than things that
are compiled-in. Otherwise, what's the point in having stuff
stored in a file that can be edited? Why not just do a .h with
the values you need?

succeeding in convincing me... :) Not fully though... which
is why I'm continuing this (I believe interesting) discussion.
