This is an interesting point that perhaps other people might like to
check.  When installing the new version of WWWOFFLE the configuration
file will be put into /etc/wwwoffle/wwwoffle.conf (by default).  If
there was a previous installation of WWWOFFLE that used the old
location /etc/wwwoffle.conf then it is possible that the new WWWOFFLE
will use the /etc/wwwoffle/wwwoffle.conf default configuration file
rather than the previous user-modified one.

I have added a warning to the Makefile so that it will complain if it
finds an existing /etc/wwwoffle.conf (but not stop the installation
from proceeding).

That was a stupid cut-and-paste error on my part.  The computer
g6.gedanken is my computer, you should use localhost instead:

     -> README.CONF.txt
         -> http://localhost:8080/configuration/
