When we wrote the original MacroLogFeature, we got complaints that
there was too much info printed for the stuff that was successfully located.
So that's why we have the current "compressed" list, with only 1-line
per feature.  I'd like to keep that.  but appending the comment to each line
might be a good idea.

I think we need the comment printed so people know what they are missing
if they don't install the feature.
