Debug Flags Wiki Page

[Jim Graham]

How about a table where there is a line of formatted info and then an 
open box below it with a description.  Kind of like (hate ascii art):

+---------+------+-------------------+---------------------------+
| foo.bar | 4096 | no dependencies   | Sets the bar of the foo   |
+---------+------+-------------------+---------------------------+
| This sets the bar for the foo which affects all cases where    |
| we foo the bar and the bar doesn't have its own foo.           |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+

Some options won't require a description or will be batched together 
with a single description box perhaps...
