Oxygen has already done this. The configuration file can be saved via
apkg -n (which creates config.lrp) and then saved to disk. Then
during loading, this package is NOT loaded in turn but saved to /tmp,
and then unpackaged after all packages have been loaded.
The basic concept is the following:
* Scan all *.config files for the names of files to save
* Create a standard package on the fly
* During boot, recognize "config.lrp" as a special file and don't load
it until all others are loaded
The first two are built into apkg - which should work on Dachenstein;
the last is an enhancement to the Oxygen startup process.
