Like PrefsBuilder 1.6?
This seems like an interesting solution though after glancing at it there are some things I use which it didn't seem to have (correct me if I am wrong).
I have my own transcript library that I use for storing prefs that uses the Windows Registry or a stack file on Mac. I did it this way since my installers usually write initial pref values to the registry that my program will later access. Right now my installers write to a text file on Mac and I parse that the first time the app is launched. PrefsBuilder stores everything in a text file.
Also, some prefs are for the application as a whole and are stored in a directory writable by all users while others are user specific and are stored in a different directory. It looks like PrefsBuilder just stores them in the users preferences directory.
