Sorry to re-animate this old thread, but I just thought I'd add a +1 for
this. I'm currently using scene properties for this sort of thing, which
isn't very good. Storing paths to external executables, search paths for
external data, etc. can be a real pain when it's attached to each scene and
you have to set it up in each new file.
