I doubt many of the module maintainers would be remotely interested in
adding *all* of the options from GNOME 1.4 to GNOME 2.x. Especially in the
case of Sawfish.

You're welcome to go ahead and note down every option in GNOME 1.4. It
should take you about 6 months, taking employment/school and other factors
into account. By then, we'll have GNOME 2.2 out, and 1.x will be even less
relevant. :-)
