[plug] multi-file find & replace

[Shackleton, Kevin]

Thanks Bevan - did you really knock that out in so short a time.

It seems to have done the trick.  I'd better find out what happened in
that syntax.

BTW there is the "Linux Apache SSL PHP/FI frontpage mini-HOWTO" I've
discovered.  I'm just trying to find out about the frontpage extensions
to Linux - sounds at first like a bit of code that crashes the daemon
with a GPF every quarter hour, but I guess it must be more useful than
that.
