    <warning>
      <para>This file is a shell script, and
      as such is subject to a string variable assignment syntax. No space
      is allowed between the variable name, the equal (=) sign, and the
      value(s) assigned. If multiple values are to be assigned, the list
      must be space-delimited with surrounding quotes.</para>

    <para>Two directives can be used in this file:
      <literal>types</literal> and <literal>skip</literal>. Both can be
      defined multiple times.</para>
