Protection of Configuration
This contribution adds to the Admin panel a tool to manage the protection status of the configure.php files. In normal use, these files, catalog/includes/configure.php and catalog/admin/includes/configure.php, must be set to "read-only" status to prevent the warning "I am able to write to the configuration file". While the installation instructions say you should "chmod" these files, it leaves the meaning of this unclear to the novice and, on some hosts, one cannot set a file read-only through normal methods.
When installed, a "Protection of Configuration" page is added under Tools. This page displays the current protection status of the two configuration files and provides an easy means of changing the status. When you need to make changes to one of the configure.php files, use this tool to temporarily unprotected it so that you can upload a replacement. After replacing the file, go back to the tool and re-protect the file.

Danish Language support added, and a danish install instruction was added to the readme.txt file..
Complete package
Added the ability to turn the extra added folders and files on and off. Well, or at least adjust their chmod rather than just the one update button included in v1.2. A snapshot has been included.
Added support for other files and dirs as well.
This version uses 700 and 400 for the protection modes rather than 755 and 444 used in the earlier versions. On some shared hosts, the old values could permit other users on the same host to read the configure.php file.
