binkit.ini and ftn_domains.ini have been deprecated and their settings moved to sbbsecho.ini.

This was done because:
1. there was a lot of redundancy between binkit.ini and sbbsecho.ini: e.g. each
[node:] section in sbbsecho.ini was repeated a link section in binkit.ini. 2. though SBBSecho v3 could use ftn_domains.ini (for zone->domain/outbound_dir
mapping), the file was not configurable using echocfg.
3. when supporting sysops, I had to ask for all 3 .ini files to get an idea of
their configuration settings. Now I only need to ask for one.
4. BinkIT and SBBSecho can now be fully configured without hand-editing any
.ini files and closely-related settings (e.g. packet password and session
password) are now visible near each other.

If you are using ftn_domains.ini or binkit.ini, when you upgrade to the latest .js files from CVS, you'll need to merge your ftn_domains.ini with sbbsecho.ini. If you have a binkit.ini file, then run "jsexec binkit upgrade". This is performed for you automatically if/when you run "jsexec update".

If you do *not* have a binkit.ini, but you do have an ftn_domains.ini, then you can hand-merge ftn_domains.ini into your sbbsecho.ini, like this:

Example, from ftn_domains.ini:

[fidonet]
Zones=1,2,3,4,5,6
DNSSuffix=binkp.net

[fsxnet]
Zones=21

to sbbsecho.ini (copy and paste and add the "domain:" prefixes):

[domain:fidonet]
Zones=1,2,3,4,5,6
DNSSuffix=binkp.net

[domain:fsxnet]
Zones=21

I hope you all like the improved ease-of-use.
