>Description:
	config(8) describes the config program, but not the files
	it eats, or the files it produces. Since they are not
	trivial, they should be documented.

	I got here by trying to deal with PR#4479

	God help new portmasters - they only have the previous
	config files for examples, but that doesn't explain "why".

>How-To-Repeat:
	man 8 config
	Look for a description of the input file syntax & requirements.
	Fail.
