Lucky,

Thanks for this great submission.  I've gone ahead and committed it to the
handbook (will take a few hours to start popping up on web sites); the
only change I had to make was that the $FreeBSD$ tag in the sample
template lasting caused CVS to get unhappy; I've worked around it by
stuffing a <!-- --> in it to disrupt CVS's detection of the tag.  I'm not
sure what the best approach to solving that problem is -- keeping the tag
in the template will help keep the documentation in sync.  I'm sure
there's a better solution, and perhaps a doc committer can pick up that
detail for me :-). 

Thanks again,
