genini - one more...

[Charles Wilson]

requires: is a required field in setup.hint files.  I imagine this is to
force package maintainers to actively think about requirements; if they
want to specify 'none' then they have to actively assert it with an
'empty' requires:

requires:

However, setup.exe does NOT like empty requires: lines in the setup.ini
file.  So, upset (and genini until revision 1.9, 2010/03/02) check that
requires is *present* in every setup.hint, but if the contents are
*empty*, then they did not put a matching empty requires spec into the
setup.ini file.

The following patch restores the previous behavior: setup.ini should
never contain

keyword: <nothing>

because setup.exe's parser will reject constructs like that.
