I used to.  But the _default_ values work perfectly...  And _all_ I put in
my .craftyrc file is the hash sizes... and I can't put my version on the
ftp machine because I run with hash=384M.  Most can't do that.  :)  In fact,
no matter what size I might put in there, it will blow up somebody's computer.

the format hasn't changed at all... and it shouldn't be in a v* directory at
all, it should be in 'common'.  I'll move it...
