Again, my plea to show us what it looks like up front.

Yuck!

Folks, you have to be more imaginative. And by that, I mean you're
failing to imagine just how stupid and LAZY your fellow programmers and
admins have already been when coding up hacks IN SHELL SCRIPTS to parse
these things for their build systems after we've guaranteed they won't
change.

We can't stick a new line in there. And we definitely can't stick in a
line without a colon! Nor can it go at the end of any existing
fixed-form lines. I frankly don't think we can fix this without a new
log option or sticking it under --debug.

For now, please send me just the code that implements a new template
element (and not the modified templates).
