It will not overwrite your config files in the default invocation.
If you passed INSTALLSETS="base etc comp man misc text games" to
make (or any other value of INSTALLSETS that contained 'etc') it
would, just like if you extracted the "etc.tgz" set...

  |  build.sh -D /foo
  |  cd distrib/sets
  |  make DESTDIR=/foo INSTALLDIR=/ installsets
  |  etcupdate

That should work.  (I use "postinstall" instead of "etcupdate", but
the latter invokes the former so that's not a problem).

I anticipate adding an extra feature to build.sh to add the
"installsets" functionality as an option.  (I was waiting to
see how the functionality worked for people first).
