Preferences.app

Those of you on the IRC channel (#GNUstep, irc.openprojects.net) know that
I've been working on a GNUstep version of NeXT's Preferences.app -- what I
want to know is, what modules are needed?

So far, I've only got two .prefs modules done, and the app to use them, in a
releasable state.

The first is a module to manage the application's internal preferences
(choosing which directories to load prefs modules from).

The second is a .prefs reimplementation of Nicola's KeyPrefs.app.

both modules, and the app that loads and uses them, work well and are (I
think) releasable.

A couple of ideas I've had:

* A fonts module, for choosing the system font, whether or not to use
antialiasing, etc.

* A colors module, for setting the various NSColor defaults.

* A Time/Date module, for setting the date/time (if root) and the time zone.

I'd post a URL, but I don't have a web site for it to go on yet, and my cable
modem couldn't take the strain. :)
