"Flat trees" are bad. Heirarchy is good for section gurus and assigning
responsibility. Having additional sections specified in DETAILS would
be OK, but symlinks would be even better (a unixism). The filesystem is
like a database. No reason not to use it as one, especially if you use
reiserfs. If perforce doesn't support symlinks, then I can see:
ADDITIONAL_SECTIONS[0]=
ADDITIONAL_SECTIONS[1]=
...
but I would consider that a dirty hack.
I don't like data duplication, so I would prefer even SPELL= removed and
have us depend on the filesystem location instead.
gaze search makes this almost a non-issue ... just adding my preference.
