Allow custom base URL

I don't get it. Add a variable for you to change at your local copy? Why don't you change your local copy of js files directly?

Because if i change it in the code, i'll have to redo the change after every commit/pull, and so will everybody else who wants to run your code in a usable way.
I have to admit i didn't check yet where those variables are throughout the code, but i'm guess it's more than just one location.
Having those variables all in one location ('custom.js') will make it easier than having to go through all of the code every time. Consider it a config file with defaults which can be customized for the environment where your code is being deployed.
(It's not only about having to remember the odd port every time, but also about firewalls not allowing access to it - which is remedied by using 80/443 and mod_proxy.)

All access to rpc goes through twister_io.js.

"git pull" should do the merging for you. when it doesn't, usually "git stash" will do.

Yes, i know my way around git, too. But i wasn't approaching this from a developer's perspective, this was supposed to be a "how can you make it easier for a semi-skilled end user to deploy".feature request/improvement.
