Summary: pynche does not start

Initial Comment:
On a Red Hat 9 box with python 2.3 compiled:

-bash-2.05b# python
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pynche/pynche 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pynche/pynche", line
7, in ?
    Main.main()
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pynche/Main.py", line
220, in main
    dbfile=dbfile)
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pynche/Main.py", line
130, in build
    dbfile = s.optiondb()['DBFILE']
KeyError: 'DBFILE'


By looking at the constructor for Switchboard, if
~/.pynche is missing, then self.__optiondb is the empty
hash.

Copying a .pynche file from an older python makes
pynche happy again.
