And more than one person has been baffled and confused by this, including 
several major contributors to our project.   And we discussed this about 2 
months ago and everyone on this list agreed that it should be changed; I'm 
sorry it didn't make it into the TODO at that time.

I see this as a really minor change that will greatly improve the 
comprehension of how to modify the .conf file.   It's documentation, really, 
and we won't be touching any code.   

How about if I tackle this this weekend?   I'd like to double-check the 
organization of the new variables in the file, anyway.
