One idea was to put the help strings in a separate module and just reference them in the source code. My concern however is that if they're not with the code they wont get updated which things change. Instead, if we move the entire flag people are still forced to notice the help string and that its wrong when they tweak things.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Its not perfect though, and ideas are very welcome. The basic problem is that if you try to configure SSL, there are a whole heap of different options available, and its not clear how they interact and what you need to twiddle to make things work unless you read the code.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Michael<br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">Rackspace Australia</div>
