/grin/ I just hope you don't mind running around after me correcting my
posts. ;)

OOooo! I hadn't even occured to me to do this. What a great idea. :)

Yes. One of the biggest problems I have with my config files is figuring
out how group information so that it's packaged into related pieces (e.g.
all the htsearch-related bits in one place, all the directory names in
another, etc). It's also one of the problems I have with the web site:
almost everything is *there* I just have a hard time finding all the
related parts. I guess that's the problem with highly configurable
systems: you can do whatever you want.
