If I were loony enough to want to make an attempt at a version updater 
(i.e. migrate a
7.4 database to 8.0 without an initdb), any suggestions on where to 
poke first? Does a
catalog/list of system catalog changes exist anywhere? Any really gross 
problems immediately
present themselves? Is dusting off pg_upgrade a good place to start, or 
is that a dead end?

There any chance of getting something to work at all?

(I figure I made enough of a stink about it last year about this time, 
I should at least make
the attempt...or have one of my minions do it...)
