yeah, i know.  i'm nitpicky.  i just want to be sure i understand 
everything.  also, i'd rather come up with a very optimistic, exacting, 
best-of-all-possible-worlds list of requirements, and then make 
compromises, instead of not clearly defining what i'd like to see.

yeah, so, good stuff.  i'm convinced.  really auke, whichever migration 
path you think is best, i'm all for it.  you're the one with the large 
amount of admin experience here.  as i said, if you have any tedious 
drudge work, i wouldn't mind taking some of the burden off you if you want.
