[Libguestfs] [PATCH 0/2 febootstrap] Allow zero-size conflicting config files to be combined

It's a recurring bug in Fedora that two packages will both contain a
config file with the same name (for example this currently is
occurring in glibc & glibc-common in Fedora 13 with the file
/etc/gai.conf).

RPM appears to allow this, at least if both files are empty.

If both files are empty then there appears to be no particular problem
with combining the two file records in febootstrap into one.  This
pair of patches makes this change.

Rich.
