It would be nice if htdig complained when the htdig.conf
file contains errors, much like apache's configtest option
does.

e.g. add the following (typoed) line to htdig.conf
iso_8609: true
htdig will not complain.

It would be good if htdig warned that iso_8609 was not
a valid configuration option.

    Nice suggestion. One problem is that people can set their
    *own* attributes in the htdig.conf file, for use in
    htsearch output. However, I agree that it would be nice
    to have some sort of check. We could also check things
    like the number of patterns in "noindex_start" is equal to
    the number of patterns in "noindex_end", and that numeric
    parameters have numeric arguments.
