It was actually fully intentional that there was *no* list of all possible
config options in the sample file, because

1) Who's going to maintain this?

2) People should read the documentation before messing with options.

(" is not the correct string delimiter either.)

I have bad experiences with sample config files.  The first thing I
usually do is delete them and dig up the documentation.

Do other people have comments on this issue?
