The number of parameters to bring out is relatively small by now (o(10)),
so I think it should be ok to leave everything in invenio.conf.
To leave open the possibility of running on the grid i'm leaving fallback
defaults in the 'private' bibauthorid_config.py, which are of course
configurable.
This might be changed in future if the number of parameters will grow too
much.
