Maybe there should be a new menu in `setup` to extract the /etc files
for space-intensive packages (separate menu choices per package)?

Looking at the disk usage on /etc now, I see two other large directories
that have potential for moving their /etc files to /config/*.tar.gz.
One is snort.  The other is 'l7-protocols' ... no idea what it is ...

I see l7-protocols is created in patch-o-matic, but I'm not sure what
package(s) use it.  Is it something that can be moved too?  It's
currently the largest subdirectory under /etc (about 1MB).
