Hi there everyone,

I have a rails app that used Google Maps in some of the views. In order  
to use it I have to include the following code at the top of my view:

However, I have two separate keys - one for production and one for  
development. What is the best way to organize them so that when I use  
Capistrano to upload my app and run it in production mode the correct  
API key gets loaded?

Thanks,

Stephen
