Currently there are two ways of setting preferences for the Andrew
software.  The first is to compile the preference into the code during
installation and the second is for the user to have a preferences file. 
How hard would it be to add a global preferences file as a third
alternative?  We would like to set the default printing commond (amungst
other things) for our users.  If we put it in the code we have to edit
the Andrew software every time we do an installation and anytime we find
a bug we have to wonder if it was because we made a bad change.  What we
have done is to automatically give each user a preferences file when we
create an account.  This works ok but there are always users who delete
or compress the file to save space in their account.  Since they didn't
create it they don't know what it is for.

So, how hard would it be to add an global preferences file that is
reference anytime the user's file is read?

P.S.  I am hoping someone will tell me its already in there.
