Dave, if we do this, we will have two types of scheme code: 
'guts' and 'config'.

We will want to discourage ordinary folks from tweaking the 'guts'
but we want to put the 'config' stuff in plain sight, and encourage
experimentation.

Right now, we don't distinguish between these.  Its just 'scm' all
around.

For example: The html 'style sheets'.  There are two right now:
'default' and 'technicolor'.  How does one create a third? 
Where's it documented?  Notice that no one is mailing in new, 
improved stylesheets?  I assume that this is because its simply 
not documented, that the scheme config is just buried in there 
with the other scheme code that does lord-knows-what.

So when we create a configurable register, we'll need to put
it somewhere where its seen, where its obvious.   Don't know
how, but that's what is needed ...
