[SVN] Best Practice for Bundle-Specific Preferences

[Thomas Aylott - subtleGradient]

Ahoy.
I've been working on Javascript Tools and a few other things.
And there seem to be a larger and larger amount of thing for which I'd  
like to set config options and preferences.

EG: JSLint, YUI Compressor, etc...

Currently the jslint prefs are handled in a config file inside the  
bundle.
There are other options which are set using environment variables.

I'm thinking we need some sort of global preference system that each  
bundle can hook into to get/set preferences.
Maybe the bundle provides a list of potential keys along with their  
potential values and then we use a single global GUI to set them all.

On a technical level, what should we use? Personally I'm all for using  
the mac defaults system since that's built right into the global  
system preferences and everything.

Is there perhaps something already done to use that?

Thanks.
