I know that, but that is not what I meant.

What I meant is that you use the config file feature consistently in the
same way, whereas other people don't. Therefor, basing a feature on the way
you work is no better than including a .lpi file (which happens to be the
way I work).

What is more, the cfg file does not contain any project information: what
files are part of the project.
