- Patch #17303 by tangent: moved the session settings into /sites/default/settings.php so that subsites can have better control over them. One of the advantages of the site specific settings.php file is that it will never get overwritten during upgrades and having these settings here should prove to be more friendly.

 /**
  * @file
  * Drupal site-specific configuration file.
+ *
+ * The configuration file which will be loaded is based upon the rules
+ * below.
+ *
+ * The configuration directory will be discovered by stripping the
+ * website's hostname from left to right and pathname from right to
+ * left.  The first configuration file found will be used and any
+ * others will be ignored.  If no other configuration file is found
+ * then the default configuration file at 'sites/default' will be used.
+ *
+ * Example for a ficticious site installed at
+ * http://www.drupal.org/mysite/test/ the 'settings.php' is
+ * searched in the following directories:
+ *
+ *  1. sites/www.drupal.org.mysite.test
+ *  2. sites/drupal.org.mysite.test
+ *  3. sites/org.mysite.test
+ *
+ *  4. sites/www.drupal.org.mysite
+ *  5. sites/drupal.org.mysite
+ *  6. sites/org.mysite
+ *
+ *  7. sites/www.drupal.org
