Yeah, that's part of my plan with the editparams reorg I was doing 
(which I'm actually going to have time to work on again sometime in the 
next couple weeks :) :) )  The params page is going to get split up into 
categorized tabs.  There will be a .pm file which is equivalent to 
defparams.pl, which contains only the items on that tab, and a .tmpl 
file in a specific place in the templates directory to go with it to 
show the UI for that tab.  Adding a tab to the parameters screen will be 
a matter of dropping in a .pm and a .tmpl file in the appropriate places 
and they'll automatically be picked up.  This opens the door wide open 
for third-party plugins to add params at will without having to hack 
anything from CVS.
