Can we make something which compares /etc/rc.conf and
/etc/default/rc.conf and emits warnings if a variable is set in
/etc/rc.conf which isn't in /etc/default/rc.conf?

I realize that this is not as simple as extracting all variable names
from both files, sorting them, and running diff.  There are a few
variable names which are variable, for instance the network interface
settings.
