There is room for an almost unlimited number of configuration parameters to
tweak various details of the software.  There came a time when we had a
choice of adding still more, or shipping the software.  We shipped.

C News as it stands does not provide every possible customization option.
What it does provide, though, is a system that's easier for you to customize.
We may eventually add the most popular customizations as configuration options,
but we expect that there will always be people who want something unusual
enough that they have to do it themselves.
