Subject: [PATCH] Use LF and allow comments in objects/info/alternates file.

Yes, using the same format for the file and the environment variable
was a big mistake.  This uses LF as the path separator, and allows
lines that begin with '#' to be comments.  ':' is no longer a separator
in objects/info/alternates file.
