Howdy all,

I updated netconf to support the new POINTOPOINT, MTU and UP_ON_BOOT
flags. For network device files that already exist, saving is done
"in-place" (not really, it uses a slightly modified version of sedit from
sorcery's libmisc) to preserve any extra information in the device files
(like do_device_up(), do_status(), additional comments, etc).

I'm hoping some of you can test it out quick to find any bugs I
overlooked! If all is well, I'll get someone to update the netconf spell.

For those interested, changes since version 0.9:

# 2003-10-28  charkins <charkins AT pobox.com>
#     - stole sedit() function from sorcery's libmisc
#     - renamed save_device() to confirm_save() for clarity
#     - renamed real_save() to save_new() for clarity
#     - added save_update() to make in-place changes to a device file
#       using sedit, allowing network functions to be preserved in files
#     - confirm_save() confirms if the user wishes to save a device
#       file, if they answer yes, it calls either save_new() or
#       save_update() to save the file depending on if the device
#       file exists
#     - made use of local in many functions and removed unset's where
#       no longer needed
#     - corrected spelling error in 2003-06-19 change entry :-)
#     - version 1.0
