/****************************************
        AutoRaiseSettings
        Simple class for getting and setting prefs.
        Instantiating will open up settings file
        Destroying will write settings plus any changes
        back into the file.

        Settings file won't be updated until AutoRaiseSettings
        destructor is called. Doens't matter if it's allocated off
        heap or stack. I recommend stack, though, to keep likelyhood
        of race conditions down.
        
        File is defined in common.h as SETTINGS_FILE
