Hi all,
I've added the ability to use a config file for slinky. Most things that 
slinky prompted for in the past can be defined in the file, limiting the 
interaction required.

However, I've done only limited testing, as it seems I've managed to kill 
my CD burner. I'll pick up a new on in the morning and do more testing.

Please have a look at the attached example config file, and see if it 
seems straight forward enough. When installing, it will be found in 
/scripts/slinky.config.sample. The file can be edited, and saved as 
slinky.config. The installer looks for /scripts/slinky.config, and 
sources the file, if found. All variables defined in the file will cause 
the installer to skip prompting for that variable.
