Save settings

save_settings is a prototype implementation to save all settings with non-default values to a file.
By default settings will be stored to ~/.pymolrc-settings.py which is automatically recognised and loaded by PyMOL on startup. You have to manually delete the file if you no more want those settings to be loaded.
This answers a feature request on sourceforge.
Usage
save_settings [ filename ]
The Script
from pymol import cmd
def save_settings(filename='~/.pymolrc-settings.py', quiet=1):
'''
DESCRIPTION
Dumps all settings with non-default values to ~/.pymolrc-settings.py
