Comment:

 From discussion with Eben: there are three sections to this control panel:
  * Theft-deterrence
    * Last check in with theft-deterrence server
    * Time current lease expires
    * Manual lease renewal button
    * "Where in the world am I" button (poorly defined, but this is
 information from the theft-deterrence server: maybe school name, maybe
 location based on IP address, maybe something else?)
    * Black list check button (check right now w/ the update server and let
 me know right away if this machine is stolen, not stolen, or "can't
 tell").  When someone is trying to sell you an XO, have them take you to
 the nearest internet cafe and click this button before you hand over your
 money.
  * Developer key
    * Status: installed, temporarily disabled, requested but not yet
 issued, or not present.
    * Request/fetch developer key button.
  * Bitfrost (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Bitfrost)
    * "Almost all of the protections we discuss can be disabled by the user
 through a graphical interface"
    * For 9.1: P_SF_CORE / P_SF_RUN

 Reassigning to Eben for GUI mockups.  Reassign back to me when ready to
 implement.
