What's the best way to make an admin plugin?

Okay, my understanding of CMS's admin area is that a module can declare that it has admin capability, tell CMS what admin menu to add a link to that module's admin feature, and then you can respond to requests in DoAction() of your module.
Tell me if that's not a complete/correct understanding, please!
Based on this, I've created a class that lets you more easily make module-based admin plugins. You drop the class into a relatively empty module subclass, and wire it into DoAdmin(), and it handles everything from there. You can also subclass it to add new behaviors.
