Setting Config Variables - Constants vs. Abstract Class Access

As I was looking through some old code from Big Boy, I noticed a block of his code at the top of his initial control file and noticed a way he was using his configuration. He was defining his from an INI file and setting constants in the code with a prefix identifier. I then took a minute to look at my most recent framework to see how I was using my config - a static class instance with an internally held singleton pattern. It got me starting to think of which was best… I have a new open source project coming up and I’d like to do the right thing.
