Another suggestion: conf file is too wordy

Here's another suggestion to toss out to ya...

The spamassassin.conf file is awfully wordy -- my copy of the file has 
230 comment lines and only 30 actual parameter setting lines.  This 
makes it hard to see at a glance exactly what the parameters are set to 
and what the configuration's doing, and it also makes it harder to 
upgrade if a new version changes the settings somewhat.  Also, several 
of the explanations are very similar and share a lot of text.

Would you consider pulling the comments into a separate documentation 
file, so that the conf file only needs to contain the settings 
themselves?
