The AuxConfigDir parameter caused AOLserver on startup to process all the
additional .ini style configuration files in the directory specified by
"ns_param   AuxConfigDir    <dir>".

There is support in OpenACS to allow these parameters to override those in
the apm_parameter tables.  We use that support in our development and
production environments to make sure that certain things are forced the way
we want on the development and/or production regardless of what might be set
in the database tables--things like the OpenACS parameter SystemURL--in
development we want that to point to the private server of the developer.
But in production we want that pointed to our main server.

If all I need to do is convert those .ini files to .tcl-style files and
source them at the end of nsd.tcl, that's fine.  That was the piece I was
missing.

Thanks.
