Store user preferences in .cfg file

Hi,

The "Edit"->"Preferences"->"User Settings" window is not communicating with the main OpenCS application yet. The idea is that the user settings window will callback with generic settingName/settingValue to the view and there the appropriate actions will be taken.

My proposal is that we introduce a .cfg file to be able to store the users settings persistently (maybe a further enhancement would be to introduce different user profiles as well).

Sorry if this is a duplicate, someone has probably already brought up this idea but I just wanted to get some feedback before I start to hack away :)

That is currently in the pipeline. Mostly finished, actually. Just waiting for a few last fixes, before I merge it into master.

Okey that is great! I will wait with pushing feature #470 until it is in place. Is there any good beginner task that you recommend that I pick up?
