I thought there were only 2 versions of config, ( at least for the hp port
where I really come from :-) ) and this file was for the new config ( on
the hp the old config was called config.old, and such thing wasn't
included in the sparc-distribution ( at least I didn't find it ))

110% yes, the box is labeled SPARX IPX and the config includes "machine
sparc" and so on... ../../../conf/files seems to be some kind of machine
independent...
