As I recall, I got that far and wasn't sure how to get at m_toolMgr from where
I was - but I'm going to be out all day so I can't really take much of a look
at it until tomorrow or late tonight.

For the purpose of merging the two settings, which do you think would best fit
with the current structure: keep the two settings separate internally and make
the GUI elements toggle both, or replace all uses of g_Drc_On with accesses to
CanViolateDrc() to merge them completely? I was looking at doing the latter and
couldn't find how to access the setting from every place g_Drc_On is used,
looks like I may have to do the former.
