Allow the secret to be safely specified externally

The way the code is written today expects users to modify the file that's under the version control system. This is inherently dangerous as a developer needs to locally edit this file and then be very careful not to accidentally commit the change in to the repository.

A better way to do this is to either allow these constants to be defined through a compiler switch (for interactive dekstop development) or in a separate file (outside the ForcePad source tree and the -I option allows you to have this import statement resolve the header file correctly.)

This will also work better in a build server, where an in-place modification to a file is tricky.
