My only comment about your request for opinions is that the main section
*is* kept first. Whilst I have no problem with the order of sections,
delimiters used, etc, etc, part of our disaster recovery requires a (one
line) change to the configure file. I have implimented this as a macro at
the top in order to keep it nice and easy for people to change if I am not
here.

John.
