After your instantaneous tweaks to my patch for text base checksums, I
feel I owe you one :-). My contribution here is relatively minor, but
you're welcome to it...

There's some C syntax for initializing the whole array to the same
value, right? I'm thinking spaces (' '), fwiw. Don't have my K&R
here, and google is not as forthcoming as I expected.

If there's not a way, just init by hand I suppose, no big deal.

Then here, I'm thinking everything between the curly braces can be
replaced with just this:

   opts = apr_psprintf (pool, "%s%s : %s",
                        opts, optsw + strlen (ops), opt->description);

Untested, and I hereby disclaim all o.b.o.e. playing in this area. :-)
