Todd,
   Here's another example:
   A file called "scheme" that sits somewhere in the /var directory 
structure is used by the /etc/pcmcia configuration scripts. (Different 
distros seem to put it indifferent places /var/lib, /var/run, 
/var/lib/misc/ etc.) Multiple network configurations can be defined in 
the network.opts and wireless.opts files, and the contents of the scheme 
file would specify the currently active configuration.  This capability 
is currently broken without the scheme file being persistent -- the 
"default" scheme is always used.
