[support] Multi-Sites Question - Site Variables

As a SWAG I would create a module foo within the sites/all/modules/foo 
directory and use http://api.drupal.org/api/function/variable_set/ 
within the .install file to create them.  I assume that you want the 
same variables for each site.  You can then use the admin/settings/foo 
form to set specific site values.
