-The format of the configuration file is a number of sections containing path
-globs one per line, where each section begins with the tag [ExclusionList],
-[ExclusionException], [CompressionExclusionList], or [AlignmentList].
-Currently, only the [ExclusionList] and [ExclusionException] sections are
-implemented. The [ExclusionList] section specifies a list of path globs to
-exclude from capture, while the [ExclusionException] section specifies a list of
-path globs to include in the capture even if the matched file or directory name
-also appears in the [ExclusionList].
+The format of the configuration file is INI-style; that is, it is arranged in
+bracketed sections. Currently, only the following sections are recognized:
+.RS
+.IP \[bu] 4
+[ExclusionList] --- contains a list of path globs to exclude from capture. If
+a directory is matched, both the directory and its contents are excluded.
+.IP \[bu]
+[ExclusionException] --- contains a list of path globs to include in the
+capture, even when the file or directory also matches a glob in [ExclusionList].
+.IP \[bu]
+[PrepopulateList] --- this does not affect capture, but if the image is
+applied later with \fB--wimboot\fR, these are globs of files that shall be
+extracted normally, not as WIMBoot "pointer files". Note that these globs do
+\fInot\fR match recursively; so, for example, you may want to use \\Boot\\* and
+\\Boot\\*\\* rather than simply \\Boot.

+Any unrecognized sections will be ignored, with a warning printed. Sections
+dealing with compression (e.g. [CompressionExclusion]) are not particularly
+important.
