16 Here's a new man page which breaks the binary package discussion out
17 into its own section. This gives me a bit more space to explain
18 what's going on. I think that files/catalyst.conf should be stripped
19 back to only contain things that we thing are really important, since
20 the detailed information will be in the man page. What options do
21 people actually tweak on a regular basis? What other options do we
22 want to highlight?
