Ok.. i just implemented this. I am testing it now. Also i have made some
changes to the strings for the options dialog:
The preferences tab is now "Preference Schemes"
Automaticaly save preferences is now "Automaticaly save this Scheme"
Would you like the patch for this as well? Also what are your thoughts on this
change. I think it will clear up some of the confusion (there should never be a
tab under options called "Preferences"), but i still don't realy like them.
