Actually, we just happened to be discussing this at the Nova meetup this
morning. And the general consensus was the opposite. It would be better
to collect all the config options in one file, especially if we are
going to expand the help (which we would like to do). Exceptions are
done that way in Nova.

Michael Still is going to propose some initial patches to get this
rolling. We don't expect this to be a big bang, but in chunks as the
help is being improved.
