Is this in some way superior to the environment variable solution 
suggested?  It seems like the best solution will always be to, when 
possible, write to the sandbox, and that is what that solution allows. 
However, I am not familiar with exactly what is going on, so maybe 
merging those files doesn't work correctly, or some paths would be 
incorrect?
