I didn't have any major issues, but I did have to manually merge several
config files.  If I know I modified the config file previously, I keep
my existing config file.  Then I merge my changes into the new config
file, and make that the "offical" config file.

I was questioned about some config files which I know I did not modify.
In that case, I accepted the new one blindly.
