This preserves the previous setup.ini, when it is updated.

This is useful for a couple of reasons: If something went disastrously 
wrong, it makes rolling back to a valid setup.ini much easier.  It also 
makes it simple to see what changed when setup.ini got updated.

I suppose this file could be stashed somewhere private, but I'm not sure 
it's worth the effort.

I take no position on the probability of that event.  I've removed the 
!always_ready files.
