The advantage of my way is that, once set up, I don't have to change 
anything. In fact, I set up things "my current way" because I started 
getting entangled with askinclude. But "my current way" will not be good 
for uploading so I am filing all this away for reconsideration when I am 
getting nearer to uploading the Magnum Opus.
