                 <para>OVERRIDES is a <quote>:</quote> seperated variable containing each item you want to satisfy conditions.  So, if you have a variable which is conditional on <quote>arm</quote>, and <quote>arm</quote> is in OVERRIDES, then the <quote>arm</quote> specific version of the variable is used rather than the non-conditional version.  Example:</para>
                 <para><screen><varname>OVERRIDES</varname> = "architecture:os:machine"
