Funny, that is exactly the purpose of one of the modules of MetaL: applic=
ation global options. :-)

Actually, I told you before that there is a great deal of overlap in Bina=
ryCloud and Integral, which is Web based integrated system of modular app=
lications.

I would prefer that it would be discussed in the MetaL development mailin=
g list, but since it is not open publically until I open the source of Me=
taL to the general public, I guess it is ok to discuss anything related h=
ere because currently MetaL is most oriented to generate PHP than any oth=
er language.

So, what do you want to discuss about MetaL?
