Remember the motivation was to have a separate config file for these
variables.  Unless ruby has something akin to the C-preprocessor
#include then we are stuck with reading a file, which means we are
stuck with a string, which means we are stuck with eval, which means
we are stuck with ugly hacks in order to obtain local variables.
