Again, my issue is not with HAL, but with the INI file itself.  I can
already do plenty of crafty tricks to get modular HAL files.

<WARNING: wandering into dev-list territory>

Perhaps I'm after the wrong thing...instead of trying to enhance the INI
file processing so it can match the flexibility of HAL, perhaps the
constraints I'm wanting to modularize should just get pushed into HAL
instead of living in the INI file.

I've been extremely annoyed on occasion that I can't do things like
change the acceleration and velocity limits w/o closing and restarting
LinuxCNC.  If those became HAL parameters, *PRESTO* both my annoyance
and my modular INI file problems are solved...

So why *ARE* some machine constants in the INI file while others live in
HAL?  Couldn't motion just export a bunch of HAL parameters that get set
like anything else (ie: PID servo settings and all other HAL stuff), or
is there a reason these settings have to live outside HAL in an INI file?
