User profiles are basically configuration presets. Many games these days use them. The benefits of using them for UFO:AI are perhaps most notable in the multiplayer department - bookmark lists, IRC user name, etc. But saved singleplayer games could also be filed by profile.

Suggested behavior:
When the game starts up, it should check its main configuration file for the last profile to be loaded, then proceed to load its options from that profile. If there was no profile loaded or if the profile specified is absent or corrupt, it should load the default options and prompt the user with the profile manager.

The profile manager should let one switch, add and delete profiles. On switching a profile, the settings associated with that profile should be loaded and applied.
