  Bug in running make dist.

  Small documentation bug in manual and HTML. Had @PROGRAM@ rather than
  @PACKAGE@ so name of package was not in man/html.

  Print out errors in configuration file

  configure.in -> configure.ac (thanks, autoconf)

  Config::IniConf now gives a syntax error for empty section: [].
