One suggestion: give an option to show a
diff -c2 old-conf-file new-conf-file |more
command before any decision.
Some problems like: "I would like to get this piece of code but not that
piece" remain unsolved. Something like ediff-mode in emacs would be the
ideal solution, IMO. The problem is that emacs is too heavy to be started in a
configuration process and large enough to be required for other installations.
If only jed had an ediff-mode... Perhaps something could be writen in perl.
