The references are to the discussions in this thread.  Where
commandline arguments would be specified in the settings dialog,
specifically commandline, and not in the Menu button from the Games
section of Myth.  Also an improvement would be a simple way to add new
games from the GUI.

I have an idea about this, and I should be able to get a prototype out
to start with.  Maybe that would help you get started?

It's not very active, since it seems to work for most people the way it is.
