I am not ready to call it consencus. I still think adding "autosendreq"
capability to binkd is a usefull extension. Having a *.req initiate a connect
all by itself sounds much more logical, given that it already has the
desination in its name just like a *.?ut or *.?lo file.

I have changed my mind about the default behaviour though. Let autosendreq not
be the default. In order not to annoy the conservatives...


Cheers, Michiel
