Fine (with one exception ;-)

Well, to me it seemed to make sense to enforce an outside label
for input objects. Never imagined that someone would like to put
it into the field, but that just shows that my powers of imagi-
nation aren't too well developed;-)

I'll throw it out if you don't like it, it's just 4 lines of code
(just delete the lines in input.c following the line with 'case
FL_ATTRIB :' at around line 1453). What I haven't found yet is why
fdesign still insists on keeping it on the outside. but that will
be found soon;-)
                          Best regards, Jens
