setup.exe and replacing of in-use files

[Charles Wilson]

Who is creating kde's setup.ini?  Are they writing it by hand, or are 
they creating it from setup.hint files by using the 'upset' script?

If the former, then the human who wrote it is WRONG.  the package name 
for the file 'kde-x-1.3.tar.bz2' is 'kde-x' -- so the @ line should be

@ kde-x

not

@ kde-x-1.3

If the latter, then the ONLY way 'upset' would generate an @ line of the 
form below, is if the human who wrote the setup.hint file put an @ line 
in THAT.  (setup.hint doesn't need an @ line; remove it.)
