- TODO: the dependency fields
+wxOptionsPage.h for the Field_XXX constants descriptions. The types should be
+self explanatory (they simply correspond to the controls shown in the dialog),
+for the flags please see the desscriptions in the comments. Finally, this
+struct also has a dependency field: if it is -1, it is not used at all. If it
+is positive, this field is only enabled if the field with id equal to the given
+number is "on" which means being checked for a checkbox, non empty for a text
+zone and so on. And if the dependency field is negative (but not -1) it is
+interpreted in the "opposite" way: the field is only enabled when the field
+specified by the absolute value of the dependency field is "off".

how this should be done.
+5. Advanced notes
+-----------------
+
+ Mahogany uses different profile paths under Unix and Windows or, to be more
+precise, when using registry under Windows (which is the default) and using
+config files (which is the only possibility under Unix and may be also done
+under Windows). In the latter case, all Mahogany profile paths start with "/M",
+e.g. "/M/Profiles". In the former case, the "/M" prefix is removed as it is
+superfluous under Windows: the registry key is already called "M". This means
+that the path used in the program and the actual path in wxConfig may be
+different. Normally, it shouldn't matter as Profile class takes care of it but
+it will break down if you access the config directly using wxConfig. For this
+reason you must use Profile::GetXXXPath() methods to retrieve the actual path
+in config.
