You would edit the file binkit.js and add lines around the .req file handling, for example:

        if (fname.search(/\.req$/i) !== -1) {
                log("REQ file received, calling handle_freq");
                handle_freq(fname, bp);
                remove_file(fname);
        }

Then when BinkIt receives a .req file, I'd expect to see that string in your logs.

I assume so, but I've never personally used it.

If you want to reach the author (Deuce) that's probably the best way, yes.
