Goodness, time flies when you coding... I hear and agree with the  
comments about load-preferences. I think, however, the best thing to  
do for now would be to use an environment variable. I propose this:

* if asdfpreferences is not defined, then preferences are loaded using  
the current logic
* if asdfpreferences is defined and is nil, the no preferences are  
loaded

Optionally (if anyone thinks this is a good idea, then)

* if asdfpreferences is defined and is a colon separated string of  
names, then preferences are not loaded for any of the systems named.

I can imagine the last being useful but don't have any use cases for  
it. I'll implement this tonight if people don't see anything obviously  
crazy about it.

thanks
