Having "the resulting customization automatically applied > to the other machine/OS" then boils down to merging. Thanks, that's another possibility, indeed. The downside I see is that it requires another tool (git or another DVCS). Currently, I can work with single init and custom files, and share them between machines/OSes via Dropbox. For now that mechanism is simple and works for me. Thanks for the advice. -- Dani Moncayo
