Jifty already does that. See Jifty::ClassLoader

It's not. It needs to be. If you're going to UTSL, Jifty::Config is the
right place to start. Jifty::Notification should have the relevant

 Mailer: Sendmail
 MailerArgs: []

Should do what you want.

Yes, but I think I'd rather do that with CSS and/or not put your logout
in the menu.
