May I take up the following potential idea here.  Since this is a
question that has been adressed to quite often, I take it that many
users have the same problem, and would like to have a solution.  If
you, or anyone else, can find a reasonably safe working solution
that is simple enough to use, let's make it publicly available.  I
understand from your, and an earlier posting that there might be the
tools for a complicated multiphase conversion (although we don't
know quite for sure?), but many users would like to see something
easily manageable.  Would this at all be possible?  I am naturally
offering garbo services for carrying out the distribution part of
the load, if someone works out a solution.
