Actually I just mean it loads the entire shader + shader configuration (including a list of what sliders to make available to the user in the interface) from an external file, so you can put whatever the hell you want there as long as it's valid.
basically you'd just specify -shader blah and it would load blah.shd, which contains information on everything else that needs loading and what should appear onscreen etc.
blah.shd could even reference hlsl / glsl versions of the shader files, so a well made shader would have code for both (and one without could throw an error if you attempted to use it in an unsupported mode)
