absolutely! We have the configuration module which should be used for 
exact these settings. This module needs some polish anyways. There are 
some possibilities to save changed settings and it could be used for 
common configuration of the site.

The install tool should only be used for first install and may be a 
later verify. I know many apps where you have to delete the install tool 
after installation to get rid of warning message.

So imho this has to be done:
- install tool can stay as it is. Should be deactivated completely after 
install
- configuration module should get the "All configuration" part
- DB check module should get the compare DB / import options

Then everything would be at the dedicated place.
