In case of multiple UI's in case some of them assigns(or earlyassigns) a 
var then another one wants to do the same thing, which lines do we 
cancel/comment in local.conf ? Do we let configurations from different 
UIs to coexist in local.conf?
(with the respect of the code from cooker.py:
#check if the variable was saved before in the same way
#if true it replace the place where the variable was
declared
#else it comments it

                     if contents[begin_line-1]== "#added by hob\n":
                         contents[begin_line] = "%s %s \"%s\"\n" % (var, 
op, val)
                         replaced = True
                     else:
                         for ii in range(begin_line, end_line):
                             contents[ii] = "#" + contents[ii]
)
