<p>
            This file contains all the local user configuration for your build environment. 
            If there is no <code class="filename">local.conf</code> present, it is created from 
            <code class="filename">local.conf.sample</code>. 
            The <code class="filename">local.conf</code> file contains documentation on the various configuration options.  
            Any variable set here overrides any variable set elsewhere within the environment unless 
            that variable is hard-coded within a file (e.g. by using '=' instead of '?='). 
            Some variables are hard-coded for various reasons but these variables are 
            relatively rare.
