The way to make it come, is to start using the trunk (i.e. 0.8-dev) and report any major issues.

I just tried one of my sites and i did not need to do anything at all. Perhaps there are some new skinconf.xml settings and forrest.properties settings that you might take advantage of. Anyway mine worked out-of-the-box with 0.8-dev This page says that you need to do 'forrest clean-work'.
