I'd encourage you to look through the diff after you're finished hacking
before sending it to the list, in case things get left in that should be
removed, as below...

This shouldn't be here now, should it?

Shouldn't all of the above be listed under this comment..?

Seems like this should, at least, be close to the char*'s that are
defining the other ways to specify a recovery targer.

Doesn't look like you changed this based on my prior comment..?

Thanks!
