Sounds good. Thanks for helping with the wiki page, Dale.

Only the MS Windows GUI does this, actually. I use Windows-specific calls (see k2gui_get_settings() and k2gui_save_settings() in k2gui.c, which call environment variable functions in wsys.c). The other platforms expect you to set the K2PDFOPT environment variable per your desired defaults.

I never really thought people would consider it important to save k2pdfopt settings--to me, there aren't that many of them--I can easily enough re-create them from scratch--but I guess if people spend a fair amount of time fine-tuning the settings, this becomes an issue.
