Stuart, this is excellent, and looks much closer to what I wrote (and
subsequently lost).  It also reads very crisply and is a good example to
newer writers!  I would like to see this replace the current tutorial if
possible, after a suitable period of public comment and editorial
process.  Any extra material that the original "updates" tutorial covers
could and should be subsumed into this one.

I don't know what the current status of pup is... can you suggest a URL
or summarize here?  In any case, if pup's not ready for prime time in
FC4, we can always add information about it to this document later.

Karsten, what say you?
