[wp-hackers] Need help with: coding new Plugin options

[Alan J Castonguay]

This is a question which I also would like to see answered. I have  
seen arguments both ways, and it seems like options.php is supposed  
to do magic for options-updates, but this isn't used by a lot of the  
plugins I've looked at. Is there any consensus on best-practice for  
options updating?
