If anybody does take this on, perhaps they should consider adjusting the GUI 
for global_prefs_override.xml as well.

That has also created a fully-populated file if even a single value is changed 
locally, for as long as I've known it.

Perhaps we need a generic XML handler, which can process an existing file and 
modify/add new tags only, without the current "rewrite from scratch" approach.
