Guidebook update and SEDUCE runtime switch

Browse Source 
add SYSCF docs to the Guidebook because it's info needed in a binary distro
Guidebook.tex - also add some missing italics to some "NetHack" occurances
call nethack.org "official"
Guidebook.txt - didn't regenerate cleanly so no diff
add SEDUCE to SYSCF (only partly inspired by the recent email)
