[themes] Custom Configuration Options . . .

[Jason Flatt]

What do I need to do to a theme I am creating so that I can provide some 
custom configuration options to the end user on the 
admin/build/themes/settings/mytheme page?

I tried adding a hook_form_alter function to template.php, but that was 
unsuccessful. In fact, the only thing that was successful was to create a 
module and do it there. I would really like to avoid having a theme depend on 
a module.

RTFM answers are fine, provided they include pointers, as I have been unable 
to find anything on this on either d.o and a.d.o. (That doesn't mean it's not 
there, just that I can't find it.) :^)

Thanks.
