How do I know this will be handy? Because I'm doing it right now, and it's a b*tch to find all the places I hard-coded the server name. :-(

This listing is for code that runs in the OPML Editor environment. I created these listings because I wanted the search engines to index it, so that when I want to look up something in my codebase I don't have to use the much slower search functionality in my object database. Dave Winer.
