Ooops, it was me who was being ignorant.  I saw that Options class and assumed that you wanted to pass different instances of it around.  Now I see that it's meant to be static.

I do like the way you've structured Options, in that it should presumably allow adding new options fairly simple and provide discoverability.  But on the other hand, anything you do in Options should be done in such a way that it can be tuned from a full browser.  The environment variables are a cheap way to accomplish this.  Do you know how you'd interface this to WebCore/WebKit so that the options can be modified even for a browser?
