I think we should do this just once.  I think it makes a lot more sense
to do a little more work by updating checksetup.pl to change the
profiles table so it includes a new field "allow_email bool default 1",
then update the other files.  I think users should be able to turn this
value on or off themselves, but more importantly, admins should be able
to modify it from their browser.  By adding this to the profiles table,
it removes the need for admins to have access to the file system.

BTW - I've taken this bug.
