+Default options
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+If you add '$CCOLLECT_CONF/defaults/`option_name`', the value will
+be used in abscence of the option in a source. If you want to prevent
+the default value to be used in a source, you can create the file
+'$CCOLLECT_CONF/sources/$name/`no_option_name`' (i.e. prefix it with
+'no_'.
+
+Example:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+   [9:04] ikn2:ccollect% touch conf/defaults/verbose
+   [9:04] ikn2:ccollect% touch conf/sources/local/no_verbose

+This enables the verbose option for all sources, but disables it for the
+source 'local'.

+If an option is specified in the defaults folder and in the source,
