Checks for backups and swap files of common content management system
and web server configuration files.

When web server files are edited in place, the text editor can leave
backup or swap files in a place where the web server can serve them. The
script checks for these files:

* <code>wp-config.php</code>: WordPress
* <code>config.php</code>: phpBB, ExpressionEngine
* <code>configuration.php</code>: Joomla
* <code>LocalSettings.php</code>: MediaWiki
* <code>/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php</code>: MediaWiki
* <code>mt-config.cgi</code>: Movable Type
* <code>mt-static/mt-config.cgi</code>: Movable Type
* <code>settings.php</code>: Drupal
* <code>.htaccess</code>: Apache

And for each of these file applies the following transformations (using
<code>config.php</code> as an example):

* <code>config.bak</code>: Generic backup.
* <code>config.php.bak</code>: Generic backup.
* <code>config.php~</code>: Vim, Gedit.
* <code>#config.php#</code>: Emacs.
* <code>config copy.php</code>: Mac OS copy.
* <code>Copy of config.php</code>: Windows copy.
* <code>config.php.save</code>: GNU Nano.
* <code>.config.php.swp</code>: Vim swap.
* <code>config.php.swp</code>: Vim swap.
* <code>config.php.old</code>: Generic backup.
