Excellent!  I've applied the spelling fixes and DB settings part of the
patch to HEAD and committed.

The openils.xml issue has been bugging me for a while now, too.  However,
instead of creating an Open-ILS version of bootstrap.conf to accommodate the
different opensrf config file names (openils.xml vs. opensrf.xml),  I've
simply changed the name of openils.xml.example to opensrf.xml.example in the
Open-ILS tree.  It's my feeling that openils.xml should have been called
opensrf.xml all along since that's the purpose it serves -- to act as the
opensrf config file -- and that this will reduce confusion in the long run
(confusion encountered while reading this email notwithstanding :-)).

"make install" now copies the Open-ILS version of opensrf.xml over the
default opensrf version and that file should now be used as the global
application config instead of openils.xml

bootstrap.conf still says  "settings_config = /path/to/opensrf.xml", so it
will still be necessary to manually update the path, but at least the
filename will be correct.

To repeat:  openils.xml is DEAD! Long live opensrf.xml!

The next step is to go through the wiki and change references from
openils.xml to opensrf.xml.

Dan, thanks for the patch and for somehow making me use more exclamation
points in a single email than I ever have before.  Keep 'em comin'!!

!
