The idea being to use the hal pin connected to an output to do the same thing 
as your override button.

If the hard limit switches are connected directly to the drives, then 
there's nothing a HAL pin could do to override them, is there?

On my machine I have a manual push-button that overrides the hard limit 
circuit, so that while i hold that button down the drives think none of 
the hard limit switches are tripped.  It also fools the E-stop circuit. 
That lets me come out of E-stop and jog off the limits when I (ahem) 
crash the machine.
