Why not make it a button only appearing if the backend is running on 
localhost? That way everybody with a single machine will be happy, and 
everybody with split setups probably know a bit more what they are doing so 
they will be happy as well.

For myself I want every setup out of the menus, firstly I just use mysqlcc 
(setup module is not Europe-proof yet) and second would really hate to have 
a setup menu accessible by anyone in the living:-)
But I realize I'm probably the only one, so Merle: get your fulltime paid 
engineers hacking instead of trying to get it all done for free...
