+                    building targets with multiple configurations.
+                    Use this variable in your

+                    Specify a <replaceable>multiconfigname</replaceable> for
+                    each configuration file you are using.
+                    For example, the following line specifies three

+                    </literallayout>
+                    Each configuration file you use must reside in the

+                    <filename>conf/multiconfig</filename> directory
