There is a configuration script to do this now.  OptionsConfig.py.  You should 
definitely have users use this script, rather than manually modify 
bayescustomize.ini.  And you should definitely not instruct them to modify 
Options.py under any circumstances.  It's just a bit too critical.  If you 
accidentally screw it up, the whole system dies a horrible death.
