+ Use this variable in your
+ <filename>conf/local.conf</filename> configuration file.
+ Specify a <replaceable>multiconfigname</replaceable> for
+ each configuration file you are using.
+ For example, the following line specifies three
+ configuration files:
+ <literallayout class='monospaced'>
+ BBMULTIFONFIG = "configA configB configC"
+ </literallayout>
+ Each configuration file you use must reside in the

+ <filename>conf/multiconfig</filename> directory
+ (e.g.
+ <replaceable>build_directory</replaceable><filename>/conf/multiconfig/configA.conf</filename>).
