Input Parameters

	options	- options database, use NULL for default global database
	pre	- option prefix or NULL
	opt	- option name
	list	- array containing the list of choices, followed by the enum name, followed by the enum prefix, followed by a null
	defaultv	- the default (current) value

	value	- the value to return
