OK, any input or corrections welcome.
I definitly would be interested in more error checking and
reporting, and I'm thinking about using \time to append the=20
time it takes the long utilities to run to a file for comparison
purposes.

When I upgraded from 4.8-p3 to p4 recently, I ran mergemaster manually.
The only file I had to make a decision on was (I forget the name) the
one that prints the uname information when booting.
Just for the sake of discussion, let's say I did opt to run mergemaster
-a.
All I would have to do is check every file in /var/tmp/temproot and be
sure it didn't break anything by overwriting the older version, correct?
