Shouldn't optional stuff like this go in cpurc.local anyway?

Why is all this commented out?

This changes seem to intend to allow local installations to override
the default cpurc setup without having to edit it (and therefore get
out of sync with sources and need to merge future changes by hand and
so on), so I see little reason to leave 'alternative' sections
commented out when the local and $sysname specific scripts can take
care of that.

And thanks dho for writing the summaries! Just one small complaint,
could you fix the first line of the comments (specially because it is
used by convention as subject for the emails)?

Best wishes
