Public Class methods
attr_accessor(*names)

Adds boolean support.

# File lib/setup/config.rb, line 79
    def self.attr_accessor(*names)
      bools, attrs = names.partition{ |name| name.to_s =~ /\?$/ }
      attr_boolean *bools
      super *attrs
    end
attr_boolean(*names)

Boolean attribute. Can be assigned true, false, nil, or a string matching yes|true|y|t or no|false|n|f.

# File lib/setup/config.rb, line 87
    def self.attr_boolean(*names)
      names.each do |name|
        name = name.to_s.chomp('?')

        }
        class_eval code
      end

attr_pathlist(name)

List of pathnames. These are not expanded though.

    def self.attr_pathlist(name)
      class_eval %{
        def #{name}

          end
        end
      }   
    end
attr_pathname(name)

Pathname attribute. Pathnames are automatically expanded unless they start with ’$’, a path variable.

# File lib/setup/config.rb, line 49
    def self.attr_pathname(name)
      class_eval %{
        def #{name}

          @#{name} = (path[0,1] == '$' ? path : File.expand_path(path))
