Just looking at that page, a couple of items spring to mind:

1) Why are you pointing people to the prefile/postfile options in preference to 
just putting the "common, personal configuration" in local.conf?

2) Your IMAGE_INSTALL_append example needs a leading space in the string or it 
will almost certainly not work (or at least, it will only work when there's 
already a trailing space in the value of IMAGE_INSTALL).

Cheers,
Paul
