spam.txt is not included in the release tarballs. I could add it though. I
don't mind much either way.

Yes, the comment is wrong. You can disable use of the system-wide file by
setting use_global_hostiles_txt to FALSE. You can also configure in the GUI
under Preferences->Network.

The main reason to allow both is that you can add a few additional ranges
without having to copy the system-wide file and it also prevents that you have
a stale hostiles.txt in your ~/.gtk-gnutella which is not updated when you
update gtk-gnutella. I always make them symlinks to the svn respository but I
doubt everybody does this.

Though, this is somewhat problematic for hostiles.txt because it rejects ranges
that overlap, IIRC. I think that's bogus and a PITA but I won't fix it in the
near future.
