[theme-reviewers] Theme options page

[Jose Castaneda]

As long as it pertains to the theme I would see no reason for it to be wrong. If it alters anything that would change when changing themes then no.

I've never been a fan of themes that have dependencies on plugins, but that's neither here or there. As for the code: can't recall, I'd have to quick search and am on my phone....
