NSUserDefaults is wholly unacceptable in terms of performance for  
what we do with our preferences system.  Additionally, without some  
righteous hacks, NSUserDefaults doesn't allow us preference- 
inheritence which is so incredibly awesome for contact->metacontact-

AIPreferenceController is currently a singleton.

Eric and I had a long discussion on AIM yesterday about the  
preferences system, and I couldn't get a clear picture of what the  
problem is with AIPreferenceController.  It's already been noted that  
it works well for me, and obviously that's not a good argument...  
while I'm in favor of cleaning up code, documenting it, and rewriting  
or refactoring it as appropriate, I'd like to better understand why  
this particular controller is being targeted :)

Cheers,
Evan
