Check the Configuration Files Loader (http://  
[revolutiononrails.blogspot.com/2007/03/plugin-release-configuration-](http://revolutiononrails.blogspot.com/2007/03/plugin-release-configuration-)  
files.html) gem/plugin. It allows to put whatever you need into a YAML  
file under the config/ directory of an application/plugin/gem and then  
load it sectioned/parsed/ERBd.
