Once again messed up the subject line...aargh...ScreenInfo not screen_info

Anyway, I found this reference from the archives so while I still think
there is potential in moving ScreenInfo to a database I now have Leon's
reasons for not originally doing so...

Yep.  First, it would cost a database hit, which is more expensive than
including a file.  Second, on a normal site build we add lots of entries to
ScreenInfo and it's a lot easier to edit a file than mess with rows in the
database.  Third, we tend to throw in extra array elements depending on the
site.  For example, when navigation changes dramatically between secondary
sections of a site, we put in an element to mark with navigation module to
use.
