Hi Gary
One of the reasons we have avoided this technique in public sources is that
the implementation is not fully integrated with the rest of the CDL
library. For example, the values you provide for options you override do
not become the CDL default values. The configtool therefore indicates that
the options have been changed and allows you to restore the default value
which would effectively change the target and confuse the "run tests"
capability of the tool. Without improved integration, I would prefer to
avoid the use of this technique in the public repository.
