The forest installer branched away from the pure-MQ based
method a couple weeks before 0.6 was released.  Changes pushed
to your repo after that point have not been merged back.

stuff that's on freehg is hard to find, what's your URL again?

What's the consequences again if they do not uninstall 0.4 first?
Does it leave the shell/registry totally confused?

We've got a few weeks, I'd rather fix this by refusing to install if
<=0.4 is found, if possible.  I see in the M/L history Peer had a patch
for some of this, but I can't get it out of gmail anymore.  Do you
still have that patch, Peer?

0.7 over the top of >= 0.5 should work flawlessly, and I would like
to limit the baggage we carry forward.
