I fear that you have made this worse in 3.0rc2 - indeed I think you may
have broken it completely...
I have just upgraded a box with a working config from 3.0rc1 to 3.0rc2 and
the service refused to start with a configuration fault. The fault
occurred where I had configs with "\" over multiple lines.
The particular file had Unix line ends. I have tried with Windows line
ends, and it still did not work.
Obviously making one long line fixed the problem, but is not very
readable...
Best wishes,
Matthew
