Ok, sounds reasonable. So you want to have hard-coded, pre- 
compilation values, is that it?

Then an array as you suggested would work. Or, if you want to be even  
more explicit, you could maybe use a hashmap so that the user can  
also add a small description or something. I guess a full-blown class  
would be overkill in this case.


Anyway, just adding my 2 RMB, which ain't worth much tese days. ;-)
