Yes it would be cleaner to add that to the official docs, however I 
don't have the ability to do that.  Now that it is written in the wiki 
though perhaps someone with write access to the official docs will 
insert it. :)

I enthusiasticly encourage anyone/everyone to do exactly that! It is a 
wiki after all (free osgeo login's at 
http://www.osgeo.org/osgeo_userid/) . I certainly plan to do so myself 
as those occasions arise in my work. :)
