[MlMt] Signature placement

[Alain Israel]

I agree with the first comment  : the behavior of this option is 
relatively unconvenient (or there is something I do not understand), and 
I have disconnected it and do everything by hand, using *xType* to 
shortcut the signatures.
To defeat automatic insertion, what I do (I am not sure it is the best 
option) is to have as first signature an empty line.
