[GNC] Config files?

[Simon Roberts]

Thanks Murugan, that's really useful. First it tells me that I'm using a
significantly old release (3.8, from the Ubuntu "built in" stuff). Better
fix that, methinks.

Are the data files I'm working on in 3.8 going to read directly into
version 4, or does that need some more deliberate action?

And in the online docs, I don't see a simple text search mechanism for the
documentation. Am I missing something? I know that often it's hard to find
things in documentation that's just organized by sections/topics if you
don't know the terminology yet.
