Personally, I do not mind implementing any of the structures. 

In my opinion, upgrading should not really be a problem.  I will be writing a little tool to auto upgrade the table.  And I don't think we will be adding new settings to be tracked every so often, so it will just be a regular upgrade.

Sure, there are several settings in the configuration file that may complicate the table structure.


Thanks!

I know it's not perfect solution. But when I look at our configuration
file, we have far too many options, to represent them as columns in
table. Furthermore adding new option would mean to force users to
upgrade the table.
