Comment:

 I spent a little while putting together a patch to get this started. The
 Advanced options section isn't hidden and there could probably be more
 error checking (then again, almost anything is better than what's there
 already :-) and prettifying. It also doesn't include the debug option as
 I'm not familiar with that, but it has everything else requested so far in
 this ticket.

 I generated the secret key by taking the MD5 hash of the output of
 wp_generate_password (and thus had to include pluggable.php to get that
 function). I don't know if that's secure enough for this purpose.

 Leaving needs-patch and added has-patch, since it has a patch but it still
 needs work! I wrote and tested this against 2.4-bleeding (revision 6499).
