Make a real downgradeable SQL Dump (without collations n stuff) and

Upgrade to MySQL 5.x and execute that sql dump.
Be warned that for example CONCAT behaves in a different way than in 3.x.
If you have PHP scripts with some functions in their sql queries you
should check them all.
Data should be safe and beeing able to be inserted into the new SQL

Thanks - sounds like good sounds advice. :-) I'll look into CONCAT.
The only thing is that, judging by past experience, the host will
only give us an approximate idea of when this might happen, so I may
well be presented with a fait accompli! It's likely to happen in the
middle of the night, so I just hope I don't wake up one day to dozens
of emails saying the whole thing's broken. I'll just have to keep my
fingers crossed.
