[Therion] Making custom metapost symbols recognize "symbol-color" thconfig command

If you look on that page, and scroll down to " Code to make full colour symbols", you will see the nature of the code and Layout I wrote.
I forget whether colour_water_bg and colour_block_bg etc are built in variables, or custom variables that Dave and I used to compliment the  built in symbol-color statement.  The later I expect.

As Martin suggested, perusing the files in the mpost folder should help with deciphering.
