This is awesome!
Can you drop this howto on the wiki please and paste up that url.
Also, would be great to have the admin interface show the overriding
happening maybe with green and red colors of the values, and a key.
Can just file these as blueprints for future...
This is so simple, but so helpful for people using aiki.

Title:
config.php options should override database options
Status in Aiki Framework:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Ok, this is super critical for openfontlibrary and all aiki sites. The
options, and all aiki options should be configurable via config.php,
should override the database options.
The reason for this is so that we have a fallback, and that we can
programmatically rsync to test and staging sites and change the site
urls and more from php files.
