Description:
------------
Setting an option for DB DataObject Generator in an ini doesn't actually affect the Generator.

With the following in a dataObject.ini:
[DB_DataObject_Generator]
extends_location = DB/DataObject.php
extends = DB_DataObjectOn
generator_add_defaults = 1

generator_add_defaults is ignored because Generator only loads options for DataObject. Moving generator_add_defaults so it is underneath [DB_DataObject] gives expected results.

Since the generator_add_defaults is unique to Generator and not DataObject, it should be configurable from within the [DB_DataObject_Generator] of an ini file.

Basically, I'm asking that DB_DataObject_Generator be able to use it's own set of options, it's confusing having them comingled. Apparently the developers of the FormBuilder project were confused by this too, as they put some options under [DB_DataObject_Generator] in their dataObject.ini in the examples folder.

At least it should be documented under Generator that all of its settings should be done under [DB_DataObject].

Not a major problem, but fixing or documenting this would probably help clear things up.
