what about, instead, removing prefs.py and just rely on ConfigParser?

this would not add type validation/conversion, but it would make the code base smaller, without adding any dependency (ConfigParser is part of Python 2.6 and 2.7 and we do not support earlier versions). I also guess it would have a positive impact on maintenance and readability.

we could later on add type conversion and data validation, by subclassing and without changing the way it's used.
