	My question:
	GENERIC says this is one of three items that /must/ be added
together.
	If that's the case ... why are there three items instead of one
item that automatically bundles the other two?
	(OK, so maybe this is preparing for a time when they won't have
to go together - but's then, and this is _now_.  I already had the
other two in the config file; my understanding of POLA suggests that
should be enough to pull in the third.)
