This sounds like a real hack. Why go to all this trouble? it will only
make it impossible for atleast 95% of all users to modify the gradients
themselves.

I have not studied how the gradients works in XaAES, but how complex can
it be? A gradient consists of a starting colour, a finishing colour and
a direction. That's it. It can easily be defined in xaaes.cnf if necessary.
