Well, that depends on how you define "this" :)
Certainly that is one very important goal...
But I agree that it would be very nice to have a gui for setting up
options... That's something I've wanted for some time... Primarily to
make it easier to mess things up... :)

I do think that we should get "the connection dialog according to Mike"
:) done and into cvs first and then whoever wants to can attack the next
issue... :)
