nice idea!

maybe we shoudl add some additional comments at the beginning of they
config file

i.e. in olsrd.conf.new tell user that actual config will likely be in
olsrd.conf
and in in olsrd.conf tell that there (if heupdated olsrd) is a
olsrd.conf.new, with examples of new configuration options,.

furthermore the olsrd.conf should contain the olsrd-version it was
installed with
