Database based Config library

Well, the line between Config and Settings sometimes gets blurry, so I think it's a matter of preference or project you're working on. I extended my Config class when I wanted to move some hard-coded 3rd party config values to database and it worked out quite nicely.

I agree with "messy" factor, but I only use save_db_item() in my applications' "Settings" page. For the most part I call load_db_items() once in extended controller and it's $this->config->item() from there.
