I think that we'll try to make it as hassle-free as we can and try to work
with you to smooth out any bumps.  Upgrading is not yet supported, but I
think it needs to be there before we start making "Release Candidate"
versions.  The work to do it is underway, although after a week away I've
forgotten exactly what work it was for now... ;-)

With a little trickery, 1.x and 2.0pre2 or later may be installable
alongside each other, by setting some variables before running the
2.x installer, at least on *n*x systems.  I'm not sure if there are
other version problems (perl modules etc) that will stop that working.
Is anyone doing it?
