	As long as /etc/conffiles/managed, /etc/conffiles/unmanaged,
 and /etc/conffiles/default are never themselves unmanaged, this would
 work. And the factory default for /etc/conffiles/default should be
 managed; and the other two files should be empty. 

	If we standardize on a easy to interpret format for these
 files, I'll add the logic to ucf to handle these directives. (how
 about a configuration file path per line for /etc/conffiles/managed
 and /etc/conffiles/unmanaged, and /etc/conffiles/default contain a
 single word, which is "managed" by default; anything other than
 "unmanaged" is interpreted as "managed?).
