It is somewhat complex, admittedly.  Most people, though, shouldn't
have to deal with the complex parts.

Yes it is.  It's used to print out the -H help list (which is a list
of tokens that a given command supports).

Thats another way to do it.  config_perror() does roughly the same
thing, but allows you to specify whether something is an error or a
warning which a char * return wouldn't let you do.
