opkg should postpone the modification of configuration files to the end of the upgrade list

[GoogleCodeExporter]

when you make a big upgrade with lot of packages you usually go somewhere
else waiting for it to finish, but the upgrade stops as soon as opkg finds
a configuration file to update. 
I would like opkg to pospone all config modifications to the end of the
upgrade list, so i could just concentrate for 5 minutes on the file
differences at the end instead of staying looking at it for 30-40 minutes..

obviously there should be a way to handle the situation when opkg must be 
interrupted
and config files are still not updated. the gentoo "emerge" command handle this 
by
saving each new configuration file with a modified name so at the next run it 
can
find them and say "Warning! You must update the config files!"

Trunk now installs new conflicting config files with a -opkg postfix and 
informs the user of this action.
