[SWLUG] variables in scripts and configuration files

[bascule]

i was just wondering, is there a reason to prefer putting info in a config 
file and have a script include that file or put the info in the script and 
change the script each time you run it, i'm not thinking of a script that 
would be installed in the system and run by different users on the same 
machine but of the sort of thing you knock up to do a simple job that you 
will repeat sometime and maybe pass the script on to others, is it just a 
question of simple scripts being edited directly and perhaps having a 
seperate conf file for complicated ones is or is there some design principle 
i'm missing?
