.ini options?

hey,

...actually have a coupla questions:

1.  is there a main listing of possible *.ini file options?  As it is 
now, the osx version defaults to the following FreeSpace2.ini:

[Default]
Videocard=OpenGL (640x480)
NetworkConnection=lan
ConnectionSpeed=Slow
Gamma=1.80
LastPlayer=fullerS

[Version]
Major=1
Minor=20
Build=0

...and I know that you can also put in such options as "Fullscreen" and 
"ShowFPS", but what else is possible?  I ask because I was looking 
through gropengl.cpp and noticed a call to os_config_read_uint() for a 
"UseLuminanceAlpha", but then can't find where that value is used:  are 
all of these options read in through os_config_read_uint()?

	...I'd like to add a "FSAA" level, and this seems to be a good place 
to do it...btw, FSAA will be attempted, but if it fails, regular video 
will be done as it is now...

2.  has anyone tried to do a configuration splash screen?  Since the 
OSX version doesn't necessarily run from command line (it could, but 
it's currently built as a double-clickable application package), I 
think it'd be nice to put up a small configuration window that would 
allow manipulation of such options as found in *.ini (or passed through 
cli), without having to open the *.ini in a text editor...does anyone 
know of an app where something like this has been done via SDL or some 
associated library?

l8r,
jamie
