On one hand, I'd like to apply the cleanup of the help strings from
Justin. On the other hand, if we are to perform this kind of
cleanup (including the secs/msecs renaming, etc) we should do it
across all template files, otherwise we will have to keep fixing
same issues again and again.

It will be great if we have a style guide for configuration options,
help strings, etc, so I think first we should have the style guide
written and committed to CVS, and then cleanup all templates.
