I tried to mock up a prototype this morning of PGC_ENUM_LIST (or PGC_SET, not sure what to call it) and actually parsing the enum list input was easy to do, but there are a bunch of other things to figure out that will take time. Anyway, I'll start polishing the enum "on", "off", "timings" version of my patch. - Melanie
