we know that the doc is severly lacking, its just a matter of priorities.
There are approx. 2-3 people working part time on this, and there is more
than enough to keep us busy with the code.  This is something that one or
more of the more experienced users should jump on.  If someone were to
write a handbook section, I and others will be available to answer specific
questions where there are holes.  We just dont have the time to do it all!

We need:

  improved LINT section.
  man 4(?) smp.
  info page.
  handbook section.
  entry in the FAQ.
