I've tripped over assembly variable settings a time or two and have an idea I would like to throw out...

Currently the assemblage variable settings (on Linux) are in ~/.theide/ASSMBLAGE.var. If the assemblage variable is actually set in ${UPP_USER}/ASSEMBLAGE/ASSEMBLAGE.var, then the package can be moved as a whole without having the user to manually add it.

At the same time maybe we can look at all the duplications of uppsrc and common in the paths. Probably the easiest way of dealing with this is to define a new variable PROJ="path to the assemblage" and allow a user sellectable button to *overwride* the UPP and COMMON variables. That way we can simply read the uppsrc.var and common.var settings and overwrite them with the project specific ones in necessary. One of the advantages of this is that it will allow support of compilation against specific upp version source on a pre-project basis without mucking all the other projects up.

Just a thought...
