You can save properties from programm into the properties-file. So I would=
 use my.properties for all user-preferences.
He can then use the my.properties-file with a text-editor or if we have im=
plement it, make the changes with a option-dialog-window.

Two propeties-files are normally enough. One for the user and one for the =
system.

the -D option is a good idea for own versions, not the default one for the=
 end-users.
If we use our firstname as prefix, we can checkin our own version also.=20
I will add the nessesary thinks in my RailsMain-Class

I like dokumentation where you need it. In this case comments should be go=
od enough I think, particular if we write also a option-dialog-window.
