> One of the principles of OODT Balance is that it should be possible to drop
> in modules with minimal configuration. One thing that currently frustrates
> this is occasional the need, in a module's configuration file, to know the
> actual install path or url of the module. Introducing a limited set of basic
> "environment variables," which would be evaluated just prior to parsing the
> module config file, would remove the need to know, a-priori, where the module
> has been installed.
> For starters, the following "environment variables" should be available:
>
> [MODULE_PATH] should expand/evaluate to the file system path of the module
> [MODULE_ROOT] should expand/evaluate to the url base of the module
> [MODULE_STATIC] should expand/evaluate to the url base of the module's static
> assets directory (css, js, img, etc)
> These "environment variables" can then be used in module configuration files
> wherever absolute paths/urls would otherwise have been needed.
