More specifically, I like something like:

I Cant Think Of A Good Name For This = sophos:/usr/local/bin/sweep
I Cant Think Of A Good Name For This = kaspersky:/opt/mailscanner/kaspersky/kasperskywrapper

I like this because it's easier to read, easier to comment in and out, and
harder to screw up.

The option name can't conflict with anything existing, obviously, which makes
life a little more difficult.

We need to make sure that it's extremely unlikely to confuse anyone (to avoid
"so do I set both, or just this, or..."-type questions).


Cheers,


Nick
