Currently I'm working on a custom JParameter so that users can configure all the plugin's aspects from within the plugin settings (it also makes adding a new TFS plugin really easy - just put it with the others). So when I'm done with that and when my Joomlacode project is approved, I'll post the complete package there, post a link here and see what the wonderful Joomla people think.
