I think we should perhaps separate the documentation somewhat from the
implementation.  Perhaps make Conf.pm just the parser and reader and put
basic options into "Basic", and advanced options into "Advanced".

Also, moving large blocks of stuff around in Conf.pm seems a bit
wasteful, I'd still like us to do something like Malte's reorganization
first (proposed some time ago).  The parsing could be made significantly
faster by hashing on the first word in the line instead of doing a
series of regexp if-then-elses.
