Please, let us have something that scales up -and- down. I wouldn't want
to feel that I have to reinvent the wheel just because I have one too
many preference settings.
Stuff that pops up is a system based on application signature (such as
JBQs Settings class), with XML entities in it. Easily editable through a
telnet session, easy enough to parse. Etc.
Now's the time to do it the right way.
