As far as I could tell by eyeball, you are simply moving the section out
to be a separate chapter and a separate file, without changing any text?

This was agreed to in the above thread (or at least no one objected),
but I thought we'd also agreed to provide some sort of alphabetical list
of the config parameters, perhaps similar to the table at the front of
the "System Catalogs" chapter. I don't agree with some of the more
radical suggestions in that thread, such as
one-page-per-config-variable, but the alpha index seemed to meet with
everyone's approval.
