Update of /cvs-repository/Packages/ZConfig/doc
In directory cvs.zope.org:/tmp/cvs-serv29797/doc

Modified Files:
	zconfig.tex 
Log Message:
Change some naming based on a discussion with Chris and Shane; the primary
intent being to make this easier to explain.

- <sectiongroup type="foo"/> becomes <abstracttype name="foo"/>
- <sectiontype type="foo"/> becomes <sectiontype name="foo"/>
- <sectiontype ... group="foo"/> becomes <sectiontype ... implements="foo"/>
- several internal names get changed to use names consistent with the
  new terminology
