You only need to muck with MIF files when importing variable formats
because FM has this really annoying feature of not letting you remove
the system variables, so a MIF fragment is the only way to make a
"template" that doesn't have them. That's the problem with the "third
variant" from Grant and

Yes, it would work for that but there is a much more direct
approach that I think is a lot easier. Just make a special file
