[Tinymux] Disabling the Logon WHO

[Stephen Dennis]

While I'm in the neighborhood, I could probably describe how unix/ and
win32/ affect the build as well. The distribution is built in the following
way because it offers more control than simplying using 'cvs diff'.

In unix/, there are three files: TOC.patchable, TOC.removed, and
TOC.unpatched. What is the point of this?

Some files are purposely skipped when it comes to building a patch.
docs/muxman.pdf is left out because it is a binary file.
game/data/netmux.db, game/netmux.conf, etc. are left out because those files
may have been changed by the game owner.

A file mentioned in TOC.unpatched is included in the tarball, but is not
included in any patchfile. Files in TOC.patchable are included in the
tarball and included in the patchfiles. To remove a file from the tarball
and patchfile distribution, it must be added to TOC.removed.

The ./dounix.sh and ./dowin32.sh scripts take the previously distributioned
tree, make the modifications that TOC.patchable, TOC.removed, and
TOC.unpatched require by using either the previously distributed version of
the file or the new version from under mux/.

In this way, the tarballs and patchfiles are built consistently, guaranteed
to avoid patching an existing database, etc.
