Consider http://people.freebsd.org/~imp/conf.diff

It implements that test, with one caveat.  The major version number
(the 6 in 600003) is also tested.  We should only bump this version
number whenever there's a major change in the config system such that
the new config can't grok older config files.  So it should *NOT* be
automatically bumped at branch points, but incremented by the human
doing the backwards incompatible change.
