Looks nice, and I can imagine it being useful, depending on what kind
of information you put there. OTOH, I know a lot of people put some
confidential data in their custom variables.

If you amend the patch with the possibility to make displaying the
custom vars configurable from cgi.cfg and let it have a default
value of "off" (ie, don't show custom variables), I'll queue it
for Ethan to review later.

Thanks.
