Hi John,

I know what you mean. I am not a c++ hack either and have great
difficulty working out where all these damn variables come from.

As for the lack of comments. I think it would be perfectly reasonable to
send in a patch that purely adds comment entries. I don't see any reason
why people should have to go through the same agony more than once.

Keep going! It is basically a great system, and bit-by-painful-bit we
can make it an even better one!
