[Dx4win] Dupes

[David Kozinn, K2DBK]

I would like to humbly suggest that since logs can be exported, 
modified, and re-imported, that perhaps something like this would be 
better for a third-party tool. Just the discussion of defining what a 
"dupe" is shows to me that implementing such a feature as part of the 
core functionality of D4W might be difficult. With an external tool, it 
would be possible for the end-user to specify their particular 
definition of "dupe" (e.g., within 2 minutes, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 
same/different digital mode, etc.) without having to build all that 
logic into D4W.

Just my opinion.
