ISTR there was a post to the IMP list just yesterday with someone wanting
do to this?  I'm not sure how common it would be.

What if the user's preference was a key to another database table, instead
of definitions in a PHP file?  I do really like the idea of the "key" so
that you don't replicate all that data for (potentially) thousands of
users... but if it were a key into a database, you have the potential for
adding new servers without having to edit a file on the server.
