0003199: Installation overwrites files

I guess it would be a good idea to put some headers in those files that they should be customized elsewhere.

Obviously unrealircd.conf is never overwritten btw .

A better solution would be to make the install process install those files with a different name, i.e. spamfilter.conf.sample, which would allow the end user to rename them or create their own - spamfilter.conf *would* be a logical name for a file that has that function, and it would be a shame to have that name locked out for future use.

If you do this, then it would also be a good idea to comment out the loading of that file in the default unrealircd.conf, so the daemon won't bail because of the missing file the first time you start it.

Just a thought!
