Summary

0006627: add/modify lines to init.txt and/or options_guide.txt

Description

"A good number of runrest_messages is defined by default"
SHOULD READ.......................'are'

Copy/pasting these lines from options_guide.txt to init.txt, I
encountered some lovely startup errors:
" runrest_ignore_message = You feel.*sick"
" runrest_ignore_poison = 4:100"
SHOULD READ.......................'+='

I couldn't find the following line in init.txt, though it is in options_guide.txt:
"spell_slot += <regex>:<list of spell letters>"

The following lines in init.txt appear in a different order than
their respective explainations in options_guide.txt making
for less intuitive following:

# mlist_min_height = 4
# msg_min_height = 7
# msg_max_height = 10
# mlist_allow_alternate_layout = true
# messages_at_top = true
# mlist_targetting = true
# show_gold_turns = false
# show_game_turns = false
# show_newturn_mark = false

Notes
(0021000) neil (administrator) 2013-02-11 02:00	The section numbers need updated as well.

(0021004) chris (updater) 2013-02-11 18:44	In my opinion maintaining two different files for this purpose is not the best solution. I wouldn't mind removing init.txt entirely (or keeping its header only) and focusing on options_guide.txt.

(0021005) KiloByte (manager) 2013-02-11 23:01	init.txt is far more convenient to use than the wordy guide. I fail to see any purpose in it having numbered sections, though.

(0026225) wheals (administrator) 2014-05-20 04:04	Synchronized the section numbers. Getting rid of init.txt doesn't sounds like a bad idea if only because of the confusion due to the difference between the values it has (which are the non-default ones) and the values options_guide has, but that's another issue.
