[mv] PATCH - MV4.04a: Changing "salestax.asc"

["Jeff Carnahan" <jcarnahan@networq.com>]

******    message to minivend-users from "Jeff Carnahan" <jcarnahan@networq.com>     ******

Being the picky user that I am, I wanted to use .txt files in my products
directory for all text based databases. That includes my shipping, salestax
and accessories databases. However, it seems that MV 4.04a only allows users
to modify the names of the shipping and accessories databases via:

SpecialPage  shipping.asc     products/shipping.txt
SpecialPage  accessories.asc  products/accessories.txt

Looking at the documentation, the directive for renaming these files should
actually be "Special" not "SpecialPage" ... So, the included diff enables
the "Special" directive, and also allows it to work on the salestax.asc
file.. =)

WARNING!: If you use the working "SpecialPage" syntax above, this patch will
break your configuration. You *MUST* use the "Special" directive to rename
your shipping.asc, accessories.asc and salestax.asc databases.

Comments appreciated!
