Don't we already have a plan and some patches in flight (from Thomas) to
turn the master list into a straight one-line-per-config index (which
probably _should_ be alphabetized), and then put related options into
their respective manpages (which effectively sorts them by
functionality)?

This patch is just going to cause conflicts with Thomas's, and in the
end will be obsoleted by it.
