Heh - this may get REALLY fun when you get to say... a database or a web 
app with data lying around...  Are we going to provide some way to 
migrate that data during an "upgrade" - cause if not we'll have some 
pretty angry users.  "My mysql upgraded and all my data is gone..."

Sigh.... (generic windows users)
