[Dx4win] Dupes

[PY2YP]

You are right Teijo, a dupe definition is mandatory before thinking 
about removing. A dupe is a nearly exact time, say a 5 minutes window or 
precisely the same time, resulting either from typing old logs or 
importing old logs. I have faced this problem several times when working 
with PY0S old logs. A nice improvement in the "delete dupee" tool should 
be allowing the user to define the time window. I think several users 
have faced this problem before.
