It does simplify the configuration, unfortunately, somewhat at the expense
of making it significantly more verbose, as I discovered at the weekend.

But, oh well, it did give me a chance to sort out some of the niggling bugs
of my current configuration :-)
All in all, though, I'm happy.
The default config file or convert4r4 is a very good starting point, though
you'll almost certainly want to review the file by hand.
