Use a common text explaining how the various configuration parsers using
the standard OpenBSD-style parse.y handle continuing lines with backslashes,
paying particular attention to how comments are handled (which can cause
nasty side-effects if you're not expecting it).
Most wording from jmc@, with suggestions from fgsch@, marc@, Richard Toohey,
patrick keshishian and Florian Obser, ok jmc@.
