Re: [Ayttm-devel] Prefs window

Sometime Today, Andy assembled some asciibets to say:

Agreed.  I had tried to start something like this, but it was too much 
of a headache - some other files also had to be changed.  If you think 
you can, then go ahead.

Also, speaking of C++, what do others think about writing some parts in 
C++?  We could have an abstract base prefs class, and let the Gtk+ one 
derive from it.

since the prefs list is potentially infinite, I'd suggest using a list 
of value_pairs.

yeah, hated that.
