There is some documentation in 0.9.5 now. Check out doc/man, this is now
split up into general configuration file info (environment variables
etc) and application specific sections. Check out the latest snapshot.
I ended up checking the source in some detail to get this and found out

file choking of a substituted environment variable doesn't exist and a
fair number of variables for things like 'ca' aren't actually used.
