While I highly endorse Bruce's use of System properties to determine which
machine you're running on, I do not like absolute paths.  It may be more of
an issue in my environment, because I have several versions of software
running, each on its own application server.  There's a setup file for each
one, stored in the IFS.  Each application has its own document root, and so
I can configure each instance independently.  This is a must, for me.
