Description
At present the code automatically creates a local.*.properties file for each properties file. This means that:
a) when a new property is added, such as in the fix for WOOKIE-145 or the addition of a new feature wookie breaks for all existing users as they will not have this property in their local.*.properties file
b) the properties files have all the possible properties at the time of creation, but not ones that are added later (see a)
Instead we should load the default properties then load the local properties, if they exist.
We should also move the default properties files out of the java src tree, where they are hidden from view, and put them in root.
