This is very interesting. I'd like to make a few comments:
* grep -i through the source for the string `fixme configurable'.
This marks hard-coded values that I think should be configurable.
* I was planning to add a series of configuration variables which
would be settable using command line options or in an rc file; this is
a fairly easy extension to myopt.[ch].
It seems to me that your menu-based scheme might do well to edit the
rc file.
