[Laszlo-user] setting variables at build time with lzc

[Henry Minsky]

Might as well file a feature request, having a way to pass some small
data in from the command line
would probably be useful it some point.

What people have done  in order to bake stuff into an app is to
include a  static dataset in the app which refers to a file on disk,
and then
rewrite that data file with custom data before compiling.
