(1) If I am ever able to build my own house, I will do the wiring so all the lights can be remotely controlled. Until then, it's not very feasible to re-do the wiring in the house to allow me to turn on all the lights at once. My feeling is that with time and increasing computerization of houses, this'll become more ubiquitous.

X-10 systems have been around for ~20 years that allow you to do this without any wiring changes at all ... they are not hacker-proof, but they would add this layer to your plan without spending a fortune or requiring an inordinate amount of work. They also have a car alarm style pendant that lets you turn on a couple of strategic lights wirelessly ... as in while approaching your front door from the outside.
