I was thinking on this this weekend. The Idea I came up with is a list of
different configurations.
Such that you go into config and select from the list the config you want.
Then all of the preferences
would be reloaded. Preferences would be of the form "$ConfigName/Preference".
If no custom config was selected then
the preferences would remain as they are now. This is also something that
needs to be done. Id prefer something like this over
tying it to executable as you may want different debug contexts for the same
executable. Or more likely, the same debug context for different executables.
Ideally there would also be a command line parameter to select the default
configuration.
