"Defaults"
==========

This is a poorly named parameter and a result of legacy code. It may
eventually be renamed.

It consists of a dict with four parameters:

-  ``appid``: I tend to use Java style class names to ensure my app IDs
   don't conflict with any other scripts'. This is a legacy of tools not
   from the toolshed which shared a global tool ID namespace. Now,
   toolshed tools are prefixed with the repo URL which is unique.
-  ``appname``: the tool's name. Present in command line help and as the
   tool name in galaxy
-  ``appdesc``: short, one sentence description of what it does.
-  ``appvers``: pick a versioning scheme and stick to it.
