to come back to a proposal i sent earlier, which i do believe to be the
best solution allaround.
----
minor edit button only comes to logged in users.
if $conf['requiresums'] == 0:
sums are never required, but optional (for both minor and normal edits)
if $conf['requiresums'] == 1:
sums are required for normal edits
if $conf['requiresums'] == 2:
sums are required for minor and normal edits.
----
and then in "corrospondance" to the requiresums option, with javascript,
the submit button will only be enabled if the condititions requiresums
specifies are met.
