Right.  They'll still be there.  What I'm doing is the following:

        1) create a struct of interface-modifiable prefs and fill it in using 
*GetLocalPref()
        2) pass it to the interface
        3) let the interface do whatever it wants to it
        4) interface calls ayttm_prefs_set()  with modified struct [or cancels]
        5) set prefs using *SetLocalPref()

I foresee problems with the plugins though - haven't thought that out yet. :-)

I'll probably check this in on a branch until I'm done because it's going to 
take me a while longer and merge it in later.
