Candidates for settings:

... There's probably stuff we could move here later. But that's good for an initial implementation.

Do you want to add this like the MCC Console works where you get a scroll-wheel option "Ares" and it opens a window with settings or do you want to add this like xmed where you have an extra button in the escape menu that lets you tweak settings?

(afterthought: MCC has the escape menu thing too I think)

I was actually thinking of having you drop a 'settings' module in from the 'Util' category.. Part of the reason is to keep from cluttering the Action menu with stuff. I'm not sure how to setup CBA stuff, but maybe that's worth some investigation.

I'm hoping this will also fix #152 (since we won't be relying on the addAction which seems to be failing in some cases).

I'm actually not going to do this. I think that anything that requires a settings module like this should either (1) be done through a config file on the user's machine or in the mission file, or (2) is too complicated and outside the scope of what Ares is trying to accomplish.
