it's difficult in the same way that regular expressions are difficult.

if you don't know it, you can't opine. if you do know it, then you
realize that the syntax of the config file has *nothing what so ever*
to do with the terms on the licence, which is the root of my question.
i don't like brussels sprouts, but that's not why they're not in the
tree. they're not in the tree because the licence on them requires
that they be eaten instead of compiled.
