That's great. :-) In the mean time, can you find some way to avoid a
merge conflict for the Dapper -> Edgy transition? Here are some
suggestions:

1) Assuming there are no new, compulsory configuration options, make it
silently use the old config file, as it's upwardly compatible.

2) Use your knowledge of the config file format to do intelligent
merging in the upgrade script (i.e. extract the user-specified config
and stick it in the new file).

3) Silently use the new config file, and make the new version pop up up
a message saying "Sorry, we lost your config. Please redo it.".

Even 3), though it sucks, is better than the current situation.
