Must Download for MOSS Developers

I write a lot of custom code for MOSS.  There are times when I need to save configuration settings for some of the components I write.  Saving them in the <AppSettings> section of web.config is the easiest way, but hard to maintain.  What I'd rather do is to save them in the SharePoint database so that I can change them using the SharePoint UI.  I was going to put the settings in a list and then retrieve them using SPList.  Before I was about to write the code, I did a quick search to see if anyone has done this before.  That led me to this CodePlex project.

I haven't tried it out yet, but one of the feature in this project (Manage Hierarchical Object Store) looks like it will work for me.  In addition to that, there are a bunch of other features that are really useful to developers, administrators, and users.  Man, what a gem!
