config.json should be renamed to config_dist.json

Description

config.json is always in a modified state because this file is custom configured per installation. I propose to rename it config_dist.json so as to not interfere with the update and commit operations.

The only downside is if something is added then you run the risk of missing that in your own personal json.config.

Thougts?

in principle this would be good but it would add an additional step in the installation process to copy that file to config.json and edit if required.

Do we want to do this?

I'm undecided on the best approach here. I like the fact that we can run fusion as-is from SVN, it makes development a lot easier, and this change would facilitate that.

I think we should go ahead and rename it in SVN.
