Hi
A few hours ago Jakob committed a some diffs from me.
It includes a new backup tool (backupconfig) and a network
configuration tool (createconfig).
Here is the short description of what it does.

Createconfig is checking for existing backups and presents a (very
short) list of devices containing backups. It should detect if a usb
memory is inserted and contains a /conf/etc folder.
It then presents 4 options which should be self-explainatory.

0. Use existing config
1. Manual setup
2. DHCP
3. Do not run createconfig


Backupconfig uses /etc/backup.conf and mtree to decide what files to
backup. backup.conf is for directories to look for changes and mtree
for files different then the version in bsd.gz. The backup is then
copied to /flash/conf/.
A mtree of the initial filesystem is stored in /root/flashboot.mtree.
Flashboot.mtree is created at the end of list.
