I see it in the attic, but not in CVS TIP. Is there some way to get
it back? Or should it go somewhere else until it's at least slightly
working?

I understand that not everybody will choose this path, but we've gone
to a *lot* of trouble--and as you pointed out, have benefitted
directly from the effort--to provide pointy-hair checkboxes like the
Windows port. "In-place upgrade" is one of those checkboxes, and I'm
pretty confident that getting it working will have at a minimum the
same benefits to the rest of the code that making the Windows port
did.
