+You'll need to copy the rip_dvd.conf.dist file to a local copy of the
+file called rip_dvd.conf. This way, you can customize the settings
+needed by the script in a file that isn't tracked by GIT. The conf
+file tracked by GIT (rip_dvd.conf.dist) will then contain the defaults
+the script needs to run. You can override these in your own rip_dvd.conf
+file you create locally.  This will allow you to get updates from my
+GIT repository at a later point in time without blowing away your 
+local settings.
