Hmm...  I know I went through the procedure when I upgraded posix0 from
5.1 to 7.0, so it's definately to get to work even though it definately
was hairy beyond Joe Average Sysadmin's skills.  Maybe you'll also have to
dump a copy of glibc into the to-be updates system or use the --root
option.  Somebody will have to figure out a reasonably easy to follow
and safe procedure here.
