    Log Message:
    Set the Window title to override the default: "SyncConsole"

    This appeared in the ChromeOS taskbar, so now it'll say
    "Synchronet Configuration" instead.

    Log Message:
    Break with legacy command-line syntax (e.g. don't support /options) for SCFG

    Command-line options must begin with '-' (not ye olde CPM/DOS '/option') Command-line options are now all case sensitive (e.g. '-a' not '-A').

    Remove '-d' (long deprecated for '-id')
    Remove '-t' (long deprecated, do nothing)

    Log Message:
    Add -A (capital a) option to enable alternate/ASCII arrow symbol mode

    The CP437 character characters used for the arrow indicators aren't always mapped to the expected characters in all fonts (e.g. on Windows), so add an option to use ASCII alternatives (<>^v) when that's a problem.

    Modified Files:

    Log Message:
    Resolve some "possibly lost" valgrind-reported memleaks

    Use a static char string list for the main menu options. These can't be const becaue uifc.list() *can* modify them (!) - if they're too long.

    Free the global opt[] (option list) when exiting.

    These really are not of themselves important, but reduce the noise reported by valgrind when looking for real issues.

    Update the Access Requirements dialog

    ... for the first time in AGES!

    Removed pretty obsolete/unused keywords from the multiple choices:
    NODE, BPS, EXPIRE
    These keywords are still hand-enterable, just not quite as readily available/ convenient.

    Add multiple choice (easy access) for the terminal flag keywords:
    ANSI, RIP, PETSCII, CP437, ASCII, UTF8

    Add multiple choice (easy access) to the user type/category keywords:
    SYSOP, GUEST, QNODE

    Changed Sex->Gender

    Updated the online help page.

    Other minor cleanup.
