The key to this is to store your program's logic and data outside the executable. This
is easier than it sounds. If you ship an application and a stack, you can locate the
stack and "go" to it, and you're done. To upgrade or sidegrade, just transfer the
stack to a directory with the appropriate/new application, and it should work fine.
