Removing the gaps is not necessary definitely. I thought adding comments will help adding new flags in the future. If you want me to drop this whole patch, I am fine with it. Thanks Babu

If you decide to keep it please review it for consistency. The comments should not increase confusion. For example, * in one instance you refer to "info" and "base" as components, in another you refer to them as directories, which is confusing since there is a "info" directory but no "base" directory. * related to previous item, the comments start by referring to the "info" and "base" components but then the comments switch to describing a "info directory structure and "group structure" * the separator (---) is used above a header in one instance and below a header in another * in some places you use the syntax: --> <flag name> (<dir name>, <dir name>) in other places you use: --> <flag name> --> (<dir name>) --> (<dir name>) Reinette
