It's a good point, but I have to agree with Sanitarium. If you're going to modify files that come in the default daily build, it's a good idea to make copies of the originals and edit the copies instead. This also allows you to double-check for any changes between the current default version and the new default version, which you could then integrate into your custom file.
However, it really is a good idea to back up your current set of .rockbox files, remove them from the player, then drop the new files in, and move over your custom files by hand. This helps avoid clutter AND incompatibilities. I only just upgraded to the latest build from the 10-30-2005 build, and much has changed in the directory structure since then, so I had to rework my custom WPS.
Simply put, keep an eye on the changelogs for hints of whether something has changed in the .rockbox directory structure, or just in binary.
On a related side note, does anyone else think it would be nice if the file timestamps on the daily build zips represented the last time each file was actually modified in source control? It would certainly help make updates cleaner. It'd also open up some neat possibilities for distribution (ie: Full_Current_Build.z ip and Todays_Changed_Files .zip).
OK, shutting up now. :P
