Docs Tip: Creating Plugin Configuration/Settings Screens in Movable Type

Here is a short tip for people writing their own plugins for Movable Type. There is excellent documentation guiding you through the initial steps of setting up your first plugin in the Developer Guide, which is linked to prominently from the main documentation screen. Unfortunately the guide does not explain how to add a configuration or settings screen to your plugin. For some reason, this bit of information can only be found here, in the guide for creating Movable Type applications.

Ok, this guide is linked to from the main page as well, but still, I feel this information belongs in the flow of the guide for plugin developers or should at least be referenced there. I bet it would save some people a lot of frustration in the future.
