The back story
(skip ahead to the solution)
So I have been doing quite a bit of work lately with continuous integration and auto-builds using Hudson (which I am really liking). And one of my goals is to have applications abstracted in such a way that the same build that is used for local development can also be used in QA, staging and deployment, but be fed different settings appropriate for each environment. That way when you addressing issues that seem to always crop up when you deploy to live, you don’t have to wonder what’s different between the different builds you would normally have to make to incorporate the varying environment settings.
