Yeah, you did; but it didn't carried through the merge process across the
code restructure to add "option_blah" stuff.  Sorry about that.

Looking at the output from

    $ git grep -n -e ' \* 1024 \* 1024' -- '*.c'

I noticed another issue.  Don't we need the same thing for max_packsize?
Or is that _too much_ of a backward incompatible change that we should
wait until 1.7.1?
