I can see easily where RC could parse and ini file to obtain the /current/ 
feature
set for all supported filters. That would make very easy to to produce a form
with checkboxes to enable/disable grouped and or individual options/features.
The rest, of course would be up to the admin - providing user-based, or global
options.

if !isset admin, read-most
   else
readall

See my comment above.
