From: Gregor Zatko <gza...@gmail.com>

'inherit' directive may not be used in conf files as it's supposed
to be used for the inheritance of classes.
Correct form in conf file is INHERIT.

This commit adds:
- a sanity check to find whether the wrong case exists
- fail the build if so
- tell user about the difference in directives
