* mandos (string_to_delta): Accept a whitespace-separated sequence of
                            intervals and return the sum.  This allows

  (main): Provide an empty default value for the "host" option for
          "clients.conf", making it no longer a required option.

* mandos-clients.conf.xml: Removed <?xml-stylesheet>.
  (DESCRIPTION): Improved text.
  (DEFAULTS): Renamed to "OPTIONS".  Improved text for "timeout" and

  (CLIENTS): Removed; content moved to "OPTIONS".
  (EXPANSION): New section; document %(foo)s and %%(foo)s expansion.
  (FILES): Moved to before "EXAMPLES".
