 And I was really wondering if I should follow up.  It appears
 there is a slight difference between tunables and sysctls.
 To be honest, I don't see it, but yea.  Anyway, I created a
 simple script to find and document as many as plausible:
 
 src/tools/tools/sysdoc
 
 If someone can do something better with it, then yay.  Eventually
 I may redo it in C, but I doubt.
