Difficulty to update XOOPS automatically (hard modified files)

[alain01]

Hi,
ok I will try to explain my thinking.

When we update XOOPS, there are some files hard modified by the webmaster but it's not hack core.

• There is an existent process for the file mainfile.php:
  New XOOPS, there is "mainfile.dist.php" and during installation, generating the mainfile.php, so, no problem to update, no file overwrited

• Same process for xoops_data/secure.dist.php
  After installation, there is xoops_data/secure.php, so, no problem to update, no file overwrited

Now here a hard modified files in XOOPS

• \class\textsanitizer\config.php
  Imagine I add a new process in the \class\textsanitizer\monxoops\monxoops.php
  So i need to add a line in the file \class\textsanitizer\config.php
  'monxoops' => 1,
  So, when i will update XOOPS, my parameters will be overwrited, not the \textsanitizer\monxoops\monxoops.php, the \class\textsanitizer\config.php

• Captcha:
  \class\captcha\config.php
  \config.recaptcha2.php
  \config.text.php
  \config.image.php
  These files could be hard modified, so we could lose our modification during update

So,
Is it possible to get a process like mainfile.php or xoops_data/_secure.php for these files ?

(xoops_data\xoopsconfig.php too)
