[Ovmsdev] Web configuration

[Stephen Casner]

Michael,

I see your point regarding not listing the default OVMS AP.  Perhaps
then at the time the user defines the first AP the autostart selection
should change from the default OVMS to the one the user defined, so
that effectively the OVMS one disappears?
