Possibility of custom lists?

Would it be possible to enter URLs for various custom lists? I'd like to use Adversity Adblock List, for instance, but there's no way to make it automatic from what I can tell. Sure, I can copy the lists the old-fashioned way, but that sort of defeats the purpose of this extension. It would be nice to enter URLs, where Opera AdBlock automatically looks for and parses linked txt-filters. I understand that the main issue would be recognizing lists along with recognizing where wildcards are missing.

A second request would be a "clear all"/"complete refresh" button, perhaps not affecting the personal list which is easily cleared as it is. Deleting urlfilter.ini is simple enough, but a button would make it simpler. Perhaps not in plain view, as it's generally not something that people would want to do. I request this because I am under the impression that AdBlock only adds missing entries when lists are updated, as I don't see how it can correctly remove possible obsolete entries. With the possibility of custom lists, such a button may serve a purpose as well.
