Nice to know :)  Should I update mdconfig.8 again?  I was a bit worried
about thhe `backquoted command` length, but it seems to fit nicely even
in console windows.  Reducing the line-length a bit more is not strictly
necessary, but it's worth considering.  Unless it would make the example
more cryptic than useful, I guess :)
