[development] hook_form_alter() node_type_form validation and persistence

     For the variable name you only want to use the element name, so for

	['scheduler']['publish']['touch']

     you would use 'touch', so the call to variable_get would be

	variable_get('touch_'.$form['#node_type']->type, 0)

     I tend to make my names more self contained so instead of 'touch'
         I would use something like "publish_touch" to the element and variable name.
