Actually this file is expected to be a shell script, probably meant to
setup environment variables for the fop script itself.

I suspect this has remained from the old 0.20.5 version, as I can't
think of any use case for the 0.93 one. Indeed it would make sense to
have the normal configuration file there. What do others think?

In the meantime you can apply the attached patch to the fop script to
achieve what you need.


HTH,
Vincent
