Subject[PATCH] Useless "RECOMMENDED" patch ...
I noticed that someone sprinkled some of the configurable items with a
"(RECOMMENDED)" tag in 2.1.77.

I thought this was a jolly idea, so I went through some of the Config.in's
and added more.

We might want to think about maintaining something like this. What is
attached is only a starting place, but it might help beginnings configure
their system...
