    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/upgrade_to_v319.c
    Log Message:
    Eliminate "old filebase" write functions not needed for upgrade to v3.19

    This allows us to remove some dependencies (e.g. hexplus()) in other shared files and still build this old upgrade utility.

    Log Message:
    upgrade_to_v319: refuse to clobber already-upgraded file bases

    After smb_open(), check smb.status.total_msgs and skip any dir with
    existing files; require -f on the command line to force overwrite.
    Previously the tool unconditionally re-ran smb_create() on every dir, destroying populated SMB file bases when re-run on an upgraded system.

    Also remove the unused overwrite() helper and add -h/-? usage.
