95% or more are so simple that it would be a waste of time and effort.

Top posting because that's where the insertion point is, is like 
shitting in your pants because that's where your asshole is.

It is easy most of the time. Igor writes nginx for his employer and it 
is released to the public through their kindness. He and Maxim and the 
other more expert users and those knowledgeable with the code post to 
this list in their free time and provide that support for free. 
Generally if one asks a reasonable question and shows that they have 
made efforts at searching for a solution, someone will be more than 
happy to help. Being lazy and posting a list of 50-100 rewrites, most of 
which are straightforward, is likely to be ignored.
