It seems like documenting vac_cost_limit as being different from the
others will just create perceived complexity/confusion, with no real
benefit. I'd suggest leaving the documentation and the default value
alone, and applying just the part of the patch that causes 0 to be
silently treated as if it were -1.
A comment at the spot where this is done would be a good idea, but
I don't think we need to say anything in the SGML docs.
