That implementation looks to have stalled. But it has some interesting ideas. I took a slightly different tack and looked at how ANY theme can add settings no matter what theme engine is in use. It turns out there is an existing API already in core, but PHP Template doesn't expose it to it's themes.
So I've create the Theme Settings API module so we can hammer out all the bugs and get a real implementation. Hopefully, everything will work smoothly and we can then introduce an issue to fold some of the module code into Drupal 6.x.
If you want to contribute or integrate this module with your theme, take a look:
http://drupal.org/project/themesettings
It is well documented (I believe) and relatively easy to implement, but please submit any issues/bugs you encounter.

Hi,
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.
This would indeed be a *very* useful addition. I have often felt the urge to provide configuration options for themes I have written and always ended up writing an own module for it. +1 from me.
