Using the newly updated string literal support to allow for Ctrl-A codes using
C charater literal notation (\1) for control-A codes and standard C-escaping
of carriage-return (\r), line-feed (\n), etc.
Beginning and trailing space characters are also preserved (if specified) in
the key values.

The default strings are updated/different from what was previously hard-coded
in mailsrvr.c. If you want the local timestamp (back) in the notice, change
the '%.0s' in the default string to just '%s'.

that have standard C mnemonics.

- Use the string literal separator (colon) instead of equals if the string
  value begins or ends in space or contains control characters.

iniGetString, etc. will preserve leading or trailing space characters in
a string specified with a colon key:value separator and enclosed in
double-quotes.
iniGetString, etc. will decode C-escaped string values specified with a
string literal (colon) key:value separator.

New function: iniSetStringLiteral() used to specify that the value shall
be stored in the .ini file using the colon key:value separator, enclosed
in double-quotes, and any special charactors (e.g. quotes, backslashes, etc.)
or control characters must be C-style escaped.

ala Synchronet text.dat) by default and octal format only if
C_UNESCAPE_OCTAL_SUPPORT is defined.
\X## is no longer supported (must use the C-standard \x##
Only 2 hex digits are now supported, longer streams of valid hex digits will
not be parsed as a literal character (unlike the C standard)

the arguments are: MessageNumber, UserNameOrAlias

The MessageNumber is the message number for the close to be polled.
The UserNameOrAlias should be the currentl authenticated user and must
match the pollster (sender) of the poll for the closure to succeed.

or via echocfg) were not automatically slash-terminated. So if the user did not
provide the trailing slash (or backslash on Windows), then the bundles and
packets in an inbox could not be extracted/imported.
Also, fixed the truncation of area descriptions in the badareas.lst file.

origin line prefixes (so it'll be more obvious to sysops when their tag/origin
line is too long) and beautified the output a bit.

Fix multi-choice poll import (from QWKnet) bug: MaxVotes was used for polls in
(not "votes) in VOTING.DAT file. Oops.

badip.msg wasn't be sent (display to) the IP-blocked user before disconnecting.
This regression was introduced in rev 1.632 of this file when the temp IP-ban
feature was implemented.

password is not prompted for, otherwise, the behavior is the same as before
(the SY: prompt is displayed and the system password must be entered by the
user).

closure of the file. This appears to have just been a typo and the intended
file pointer was text_js (text.js). This bug also meant that TOTAL_TEXT was not
be defined in the generated text.js files.

bbs.login() now accepts 2 additional optional arguments: user_pw and sys_pw
if these passwords are supplied, they won't be prompted for by the underlying C
functions. If the password_prompt argument (2nd arg) is not supplied, no prompt
will be displayed, but a password must still be entered.
The default behavior is the same as before.

(currently only via FTP) - simiilar to the global FTP option: DIR_FILES.
I intend to extend this option to the terminal server as well.

Terminal Server->Configuration dialog.
Removed the "Lookup Identiy" checkbox (IDENT is a pretty dead protocol and
this feature never really worked as intended) - will probably be removing this
"feature" in the future anyway.

"Display/Log Passwords Locally".

Must read the filebase index *before* comparing the upload date.
Also, implement support for -p when a filename is specified on the command-line
(without -s or a list).

European (EET) timezones and their DST equivalents (WEST and EEST).

- Change zone name from BER - >CET
- Enable daylight saving (summer) time for CET -> CEST

When using this option, the file's timestamp is compared with the stored upload
timestamp. If the file is the same or older than the upload date/time, it is
skipped. I think this is what he was asking for.

Also: more use of SAFECOPY.

Also, if there was only one line in the file listing, nothing would be
imported (now fixed).

file area listings: Since these file don't contain paths, the paths are blank
(which is normal and expected), but a recent change treated directories with
the same path (even if blank) as the same directory and over-write. Now, only
non-blank paths are compared to see if the directory is a duplicate and should
be overwritten.

Also changed references to FILEBONE.NA to FILEGATE.ZXX since that appears to
be the currently distributed filename. Update help text to reflect this too.

Also display a popup error if attempting to import a non-existant filename.

Updated more online help text.

Deepthaw (DS94):
This was broken in revision 1.584 by deuce, Thu Aug 20 05:19:45 2015 UTC:
The startup->socket_open callback is optional (may be NULL), and in the case
of sbbsNTsvcs.exe, it is NULL, thus the crash when it was called
unconditionally during socket creation. I guess not many people are running
sbbsNTsvcs these days. :-/

- 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.

1. Randomize the last 3 characters of the internal code to generate a unique
   internal code.
2. Attempt to skip sub-directory names when generating long/short names from
   imported path, if no sub-dirs are in the path, then just right-justify the
   truncated path - trying to generate meaninful long/short names from long
   paths.
3. Do not allow duplicate paths to be imported into the same library.
4. Skip (do not import) directory entries that are > 63 chars in length.
5. Stop importing if/when total dirs >= MAX_DIRS (65534).

If anybody actually hit these limits I'd be impressed, but it's not impossible.
65535 (-1 as an int16_t) is a special value used to indicate an "invalid" item.
