By manually, do you mean in a shell that was started by bbcmd (or some other 
means that ensures the ENV variables are available)?

Hmm, that's almost impossible ... everything run by hobbitlaunch should get 
the environment variables.

Is this the right file?

echo "directory $BBHOME/etc/hobbitlaunch.d/" >> $BBHOME/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg

But, it's effectively the same as cat'ing the file on to hobbitlaunch.cfg 
(but, using it makes it easier to ship extensions in packages, which is what I 
plan to do once I'm finished with major changes to this).

I can't think of anything else that would be wrong, but I'll think about it 
some more.
