Yeah, it's on linux. I had a similar thought. I figured, if no other solutions came from the post, I could hard code the variables into a file, and if I needed to update it, make it self updating. Like do a string replace to add the new variables I need in the include file itself. Bit of a pain, but once it's running it should be alright.
