Sadly that won't work Donncha, because the vBulletin developers use ./ when
they include files. Even if you switch the precendece in include_path it
still loads the "correct" file.

I've been trying to figure out some way of doing it via auto_prepend, but
that doesn't seem like a goer either (since the variables will obviously get
overwritten later).

Time for a poke at the PHP manual methinks, see if there's any new toys I've
missed.

Thanks,
