Klaus,

I just went through this a couple of days ago myself.  I found that the best
way to go is to do the upgrade in increments (I was upgrading from 3.2).
After much trial and error, I finally found a way that works.  I went from
3.2-RELEASE => 3.5-STABLE => 4.1-RELEASE=> 4.3-RELEASE.  I tried going
directliy from 3.2 to 4.3, but to no avail.  I tried going from 3.2 to
4.0...again, no luck....I went from 3.5 to 4.1 instead of 4.0 because
upgrading to 4.0 resulted in build errors.  Quite a tricky business
upgrading from the 3.x branch.  Anyway, I hope this helps somewhat.

-Scott
