Thanks to Rodolfo and Tim's replies, I now understand the "big picture". For 
some reason, my brain never put together the fact that new config files are 
downloaded as *.php.dist, and that comparing those with the existing *.php 
config files would enable one to import the changes without losing existing 
configuration options. Now that I understand, I realize that this is an 
ingenious way to run CVS (remember, it's still new to me).

With that understanding, I now realize that the addition of new preferences was 
discussed on the list, and I should have known to check the differences between 
prefs.php.dist and prefs.php. I can't explain my thinking before the light bulb 
was switched on, but I never connected the dots.

For my short-sightedness and ignorance, I apologize and humbly beg the list(s) 
for forgiveness.

With my new-found understanding, I've been wondering if I can write a script 
that will update from CVS, check diffs for all *.php.dist and *.php files in 
the config directories, make changes to the *.php files, and email me the 
results. Hmmm...

To the drawing board, Robin!
