  I'm currently doing a 1.0 -> 1.4 upgrade on one box.  some
  trickyness, since I need to keep it usable (ie: X has to work, as
  well as fvwm2, galeon, and some other stuff).  it's doable, but the
  'emerge -e world' would make things icky, since stuff temporarily
  would break.

  the basic idea was to upgrade in steps, making nice graphs in your
  head with dependencies.  the worst one to catch was gtkmm, which
  required a rebuild of all its dependencies in a certain order --
  which didn't get caught by Portage.  then again, I wouldn't expect
  it to, since things were installed and "working".  :-)
