1362 Determines which recipe should be given preference for
1363 cases where multiple recipes provide the same item.
1364 Functionally,
1365 <filename>PREFERRED_PROVIDERS</filename> is identical to
1366 <link linkend='var-PREFERRED_PROVIDER'><filename>PREFERRED_PROVIDER</filename></link>.
1367 However, the <filename>PREFERRED_PROVIDERS</filename>
1368 variable lets you define preferences for multiple
1369 situations using the following form:
1370 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
1371 PREFERRED_PROVIDERS = "xxx:yyy aaa:bbb ..."
1372 </literallayout>
1373 This form is a convenient replacement for the following:
1374 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
1375 PREFERRED_PROVIDER_xxx = "yyy"
1376 PREFERRED_PROVIDER_aaa = "bbb"
1377 </literallayout>
