I see a good potential here, especially for the constants regarding
email adresses, as those are usually a "pain" to configure if you have
dozens of different extensions which want to send emails. Having a
default value which every extension can use (e.g. sr_feuser_register,
newloginbox, etc) would make the task of configuring that (or letting
the customer configure that) much easier.

The time and date-format for FE-output is also very useful.

Only the "meta-information" about a site (site description, copyright)
are not very useful in this place, as they are used only "once" (meta
tags?).

So trying to have a central place to configure "common options" that
every extension might need is very good.

So currently +0 on that, waiting for some more comments.

Cheers,
Ernesto
