Looking great Igor!

What do you think about having the ability to pass 'help text' and maybe a 
'verbose name' to give more context about the config option?

For example, I tried adding an install option for disabling one-click urls. 
Everything worked great, but the name of the option showed up as 
**disable_merge**.

Another example would be the new **Url** option in the **External Link** tool 
could be less confusing if it said "External Url" -- or something like that.

Also, and this isn't directly related to this ticket, but the existing help 
text for the `External Link` creation options is referring to **mount points**, 
which doesn't match up with the existing fields. Maybe we can change that or 
get rid of it all together?

** [tickets:#6057] Adding an external link should be one step, not two**

The process of adding a link (described at 
http://sourceforge.net/blog/linking-to-resources-hosted-elsewhere/) is 
unintuitive. I have to add the tool, with a label and mount point, and then I 
have to scroll down, click "Options" on the tool, and set the link address. 
This is unintuitive, particularly given that the first dialog says "link" in 
the Mount Point entry field, implying that I should put the link (URL) there.

Can we make this one step instead of two?
