PluginSwitch

Settings for enabling/disabling particular plugins. MT controls this through the mt_config table. For example:

 PluginSwitch nofollow/nofollow.pl=0

What specifically does hash type mean? How does a user specify values? Also how does a developer support this switch or is it automatic?
