upgrade_languages_conf

[Julian Field]

Did both languages.conf and languages.conf.rpmnew exist?
I haven't changed this script at all in a *very* long time. It is 
actually a soft-link to upgrade_MailScanner_conf. The 2 config files may 
well look very different, but they are actually exactly the same, and 
the script works out which one you called and gives different help and 
usage information based on how you invoked it. Cute huh?

I always did like upgrade_*_conf as it upgrades/downgrades any version 
to any other version given only the contents of the 2 files, and 
requires no external input in the form of a list of allowed options or 
anything like that. Plenty of people have enquired "How on earth do you 
do that?" and I just tell them to read the code. Works a treat.

But obviously you are having some problem with it. Do all the relevant 
files exist and can you read all of them?
