[development] low hanging fruit for Drupal 6: variable defaults

[Peter Wolanin]

I don't think the suggestion below makes sense (setting variable
defaults via hook_install), at least if we assume that the way to
reset a module setting is to delete the corresponding variable.

Why can't that central place be the variable table?

We could remove the second argument to variable_get and refactor some
code to do the variable_set at install time which eliminates the need
for the defaults in the variable_get() calls themselves.
