I can see the GUI not allowing a less-than-CENT to save fat-fingered users from themselves, but I think the RPC should allow it; at the very least it makes it possible for a kind of grass-roots movement to arise between miners and people generating transactions so if we start seeing a lot of transactions with less-than-CENT-per-kbyte-fees then that's a really good indication the default definition of "free" needs to change.

And now that the RPC and GUI allow full-precision amounts for send/move, there is no problem with "I got 50.000001 bitcoins from mining, how do I send ALL of them?"

This introduces a regression, since -settxfee accepts <0.01 right now, and it's sane to do so.
That's intentional, not a regression.
It's a regression by definition, because it works today and your patch breaks it.

Remove the    if (nAmount < CENT) and   if (nAmount > (5 * COIN))  check.
API should be as powerful as (if not more powerful then) command line.

Add 'settxfee' RPC, to change TX fee setting at runtime

This clamps TX fee, if not zero, between "network minimum" (0.01) and 5 BTC (IMO sanity limit).

Presumably, the "network minimum" might be lowered, as is occasionally discussed on IRC and forum. This RPC prevents setting TX fee below network minimum.
