Sorry, I refuse to invest any more efforts in documenting this.  If
there's someone else out there who cares, let them show their resolve.

I'm sorry I need to choose this form of protest, but I tried
everything to cause those who know about this more than I do to write
some decent documentation, and I'm out of ideas.  Shame on me.
