config.md

This sets up the environment that the scripts run in. I've found it to be the most flexible route as I don't have to do any complex config file formatting, and the environment becomes the config, which is easy to move around to different platforms (linux, BSD, Heroku, etc). Depending on what I am doing, I might also write a wrapper script that automatically sources the config and runs the script.

# config.sh                                                                    
KEY1="value"                                                                   
KEY2="value"                                                                   
TOPICAL_KEY3="value"                                                           
TOPICAL_KEY4="value"
