I'm not sure the reasoning behind implementation is the correct one,
but I do like the concept, especially for power users and developers
who need to change advanced options during run-time.
I have a couple of comments:
1. It would be nice if the options that have particular effects for
integer values, were a drop-down choice rather than an integer gadget
(this stop sthe users selecting out-of-range values and makes it clear
what the choice is going to do). eg. http_proxy_auth would show the
options "No proxy", "NTLM authentication".
1b. As above but for fields expecting filenames, paths and colours
should show something appropriate to make the choice easier and avoid
errorneous input, although these might be tricky to implement given
the constraints of HTML.
2. I'm not sure if there are any options that are dangerous to change
during run-time, but if so there should be the possibility of making
these read-only.
