Which was your previous versions? All modified config/*.php should have
been saved as config/*.php.previous, and a message should have been
displayed:

          cp -p $cf $cf.previous
          echo "===> Backing-up..."
          echo "--->   $cf has been saved ***"
          echo "--->      as $cf.previous ***"

Note: this is deactivated if PACKAGE_BUILDING is defined.
