So then this shouldn't be tied into rpm at all. just an external
tool to deal with config file changes.

FWIW, etc-update-20020731-6mdk.noarch.rpm installs and works
properly on FC6-test if y'all want to take a look at it.
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/MandrakeCooker/community/i586//media/contrib/...
$ which etc-update
/usr/bin/etc-update
Gives these choices;
1) Upgrade to new /etc/ntp.conf.rpmnew
2) Keep existing /etc/ntp.conf
3) Merge the two files
4) Show the difference between the two files again
5) Skip (keep all files)
OR
6) Quit etc-update
Type (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6): 6
