Tue 22 Nov 2005 06:55:57 PM UTC, comment #1: The current code is sufficiently different that thius patch doesn't make much sense ... but the GNUstepConfig() function in the current CVS code is similar in terms of what it can do.

I added a setGNUstepConfig function to allow a program to override the GNUstep.conf file.

On further consideration ... I think the idea is not needed at all.
It should be possible to use the existing options at configuration time to build a version of the base library which does not load in a config file (eg. using --with-config-file=./) and which has the builtin location of the defaults database set to be a registry key (using --with-default-config=).
This hasn't been extensively tested ... so it may have bugs at present ... but if so, let's fix those bugs rather than adding new features we don't need.
