Thank you for your patch. This looks pretty good and I agree that
including the document as a file in the source tree is a good
idea. However, I also think that converting this to an SGML file so
that it appears as a section in the docs as well. This may introduce
small maintenance headache as there are two identical contents but
it's more convenient for (potential) developers. What do you think?

Best regards,
