How do you mod the advanced setup?

I'd like to add some more checkboxes, which do stuff, below the Advanced Game Options category.
I know a mod called Really advanced setup, but looking through it, I can't figure out exactly how it works.
 
some of those checkboxes are actually provided but hidden by Firaxis, and it only takes xml code to make them show.

The rest of the Really Advanced Setup mod is pretty advanced-level lua modding. You have to re-write the lua file and its associated xml <Context> file that Firaxis uses to control what is displayed and usable in the Advanced Setup menu. Then you have to import both these edited versions of the two files into the game's VFS system so that the game uses the replacement version of the files from the mod rather than those located in the game's base folders.

And General Tsao's Really Advanced Setup mod then adds even more complicated lua/xml gynmastics to implement much of the "extra" stuff the mod allows you as a user to do that the game does not normally allow.
