Well, I never remember them either.  I stuff them into a makefile and 
promptly forget until I need to create another makefile.

That's exactly why I'm asking.  Before going off to write some code, I 
think we all need to know what problem we're solving.  I'm not asking 
because I'm opposed to gui's... I'm opposed to spending time writing 
code that is either not needed or doesn't solve the real problem.

Persona profiles is exactly what we need.
