A list with files for which this question will not be asked with
reasonable defaults can be defined.
And I still do not like maintainer's approach to 'always-overwrite'
problem. I certainly do not want to delete /etc/rc.* (except /etc/rc.conf)
before running mergemaster -i so that he will not ask me whether
I want to update them.
