Comment:

 In order to make the options-permalink.php page capable of saving custom
 options hooked in using the add_settings_field() and register_setting()
 functions, I modified three files. The plan was to make options-
 permalink.php submit to post.php, like all of the other options pages,
 instead of submitting to itself and handling it's own post.

 I had to modify options-permalink.php by changing the form HTML to post to
 options.php and also added the settings_fields('permalink') in place of
 the wp_nonce_field('update_permalink').  I changed the line for the update
 message handling from $_POST['submit'] to $_GET['updated'] since we will
 no longer be posting to this page, but the updated value will be passed
 back upon success. Finally, I removed the whole form processing code to
 insert into options.php.

 With options.php, I added the form processing code from options-
 permalink.php right before the custom options get saved. I used an if
 clause to obviously only save those options when options-permalink.php is
 submitted.

 I then found with the modifications made to those two files that upon
 successfully updating the permalinks, I would receive two different
 success messages.  One was coming from options-permalink.php's own success
 messages, plus one from options-head.php. So, I modified options-head.php
 to not display any messages if it is on the options-permalink.php page and
 allow options-permalink.php to use it's own notifications.

 In the end, all is working and you can now save custom settings from the
 permalinks settings page.
