Changed, please - or at least setup should run some sort of sanity
check on the files it finds before trying to parse them.

I got caught with something similar recently - I had renamed an
old setup.ini at the top level of my local dir to setup.ini.sav
(so I could later diff with the new one), but when installing
setup used the setup.ini.sav file instead of the setup.ini it had
downloaded to the mirror subdirectory.
