[mv] two notes on MiniMate

Hello!

  I've just been trying out MiniMate again. I like the default reports
that come with Minivend 4.04! The Order reports didn't include the
discounts that people received, but I can live with that. I have a
comment and and a question:

* To login with the RemoteUser and Password system, it appeared that no
only did I need to set 
MV_NO_CRYPT to 1 (as documented), I needed to set 
UserDB    default    crypt         0
  This piece was not documented. 

* Also, under MiniMate: Manage Users. When I tried to add a user, I got
the below error message. I made sure the user already existed in userdb
(if that mattered) that the table minimate.asc existed and was defined
in catalog.cfg. Here's what the error log said:

The first error seems odd, since I'm creating a new user, there' s not
supposed to be a row until after it's inserted. The second error seems 
odd because it because it appears that table "minimate" _IS_ defined. 
   I'm using a fairly default "simple" setup, running everything out of
Minivend's .db system.
