Yea I think this sounds good. Tom, can you include a link to the HTML
with your next diff -- I find it easier to review big reorganizations
in the built html form rather than the diffs.
If there is really just too much content for one chapter then maybe
the updating and upgrading chapter could still be split into two
adjacent chapters -- one for the basics of updrading between releases
with mergemaster and such, and a second with more complicated source
upgrades to -CURRENT.
