    The beginnings of auto-echo-add: · f4fedac6

    - SBBSecho will now maintain a file called the Bad Area File
      (default name is data/badarea.lst), in BACKBONE.NA format
    - This file is suitable for importing in SCFG->Message Areas now, but expect
      some automation in the near future
    - To get area descriptions (not just echo tags) in the Bad Area File, be sure
      to configure at least one "Additional EchoList" to point a comprehensive echo
      list (e.g. BACKBONE.NA or similar)
    - SBBSecho will automatically add new areas (when new messages are received for
      msg areas you don't carry) or remove areas that you start to carry - no sysop
      maintenance of this file should be needed. And the file does not have to be
      deleted after being imported (e.g. with SCFG).
    - SBBSecho does not (and may never) actually modify your Synchronet Message
      Areas configuration directly, that is yet to be determined
    
    Another new feature: Area File (areas.bbs) backups:
    - Whenever the Area File is modified via AreaFix, the current file is backed
      up  (e.g. areas.0.bbs, etc.)
    - This feature can be tweaked or disabled via the AreaFileBackups key in
      sbbsecho.ini (not yet in echocfg), default backup level is 100
    
    * Numerous EchoCfg help text updates.
    * Some minor terminology updates (e.g. AREAS.BBS->areas.bbs, Areafix->AreaFix).
    * Incremented SBBSecho version from 3.00 to 3.01.
