[wp-hackers] Modifying admin forms via plugins

[Alex King]

A little extra work by the plugin developers is better than a little 
extra configuration for end users.

Your plugin doesn't need an extra file for settings, you can store the 
configuration settings in the database and use the form to manipulate 
them. This is even more friendly for the users. :)

Maybe I should do a proof of concept when I get some time (if no one 
else has by then).
