Hi Kovid -
I use scripts to automatically download my weekly news sources via cron jobs. I like using the recipes provided online, but I've often had to add tweaks to all of them (for example, adding a compress_news_images_max_size to fit under 25mb for Kindle email sending). I'd like to use the stock recipes but at run-time add a flag to append to them my extra parameters. Is there any way to do this? My only option now is to just download the recipe every so often and then manually add my parameters (or add programatically but which is fragile).
