Provide common set of preferences out-of-the-box

[DivineDominion]

We could provide .general, .advanced, .updates and maybe .license:

Since almost everyone would have a General preference tab. I wonder if we should ship with a PreferenableGeneral type thing that has all these fields already filled out. My goal is to require the least amount of boilerplate possible to set up a preferences window. Thoughts?

We could do this for Advanced too. And eventually even ship some localizations for those, so users don't have to care about that either.

I think we should only provide .general and advanced. Most apps only use .general and .advanced, or just .general, with the system icons. There's no common standard/convention for .updates or .license. Most apps I've tried just have update controls in the app menu or in .general. And for license, a lot of apps use and separate window for it.
