The only config file changes are additions to the hobbitgraph.cfg
file (new definitions from BBWin, Devmon and hobbit-perl-client),
and the corresponding new items listed in the TEST2RRD and GRAPHS
setting in hobbitserver.cfg.

So compiling and then copying your binaries over - or just doing
a "make install", this will not overwrite your existing config -
should work fine.
