>Description:
	This patch fixes long descriptions and hopefully adds some clarity and consistency about adding new ones.
	See http://mozart.lib.uchicago.edu/mozart/images/sudo-config.jpg for why this is needed. In that particular case, NLS_DESC is too long.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	- Copy size comments from KNOBS and adjust for _DESC size
	- Fix long descriptions
