Hi,

Lincoln Stoll recently gave a presentation about the 12 Factor App at
DevOps Melbourne. One of the take-homes from that presentation for me was
the idea of using URIs in environment variables to configure
environment-specific (vs app specific) parts of the application:
http://www.12factor.net/config

For instance, it'd be nice if I could have on my system:

DATABASE_URI=mysql://foo:bar@localhost/myDatabase

And then keep application specific database config (eg, my locale) to the
database.yml.

I'm wondering if anybody has implemented this already in a gem, or a gist,
or similar. It's relatively trivial to use ERB to do this in your
database.yml right now, but seems inelegant.

Also, I hate ERB. Just putting that out there.
