 For whoever commits this: Any new options should be described in LINT,
 and contained in conf/options.
 
 Alexander: If you provide patches that people don't have to do any
 extra work on before committing, you're likely to get a much quicker
 turnaround.  It's just human nature.
 
 For your patch, this would include the following differences:
 - Additional patches for LINT and conf/options
 - Follow the exact style of the original file, e.g. having spaces
   after all instances of 'if'.
 - Remove 'PATCH BEGIN' and 'PATCH END' at the beginning and end of
   each changed section.
 
 Please don't get me wrong; we are grateful for patches almost in any
 condition.  But the ones that are easy to apply and have the style in
 order are more likely to be processed quickly.
 
 Eivind.
