Documentation? No. The problem is to move any .fun script depending
from a single addon, IN the addon itself. Example: smbd.fun, sendmail.fun
etc moved in the SRV addon, because Smail and Smbd are here.
This is "conceptually" acceptable, but from the (single) developer point
of view a considerable font of scattering problems.

I hope this is the last times I have to repeat that: all code relative
to addon in the BASE floppy is contained in the file /setup/fun/ADDON.fun
and I remove it I will gain only 2-3k. Thank you.
