In order to migrate from 4 to 4.1 (where the password format changed,
along with some other incompatible changes), I created a mirror of my
server and choose a few days to test it (low usage). While doying
this, I binary logged all information so I could repeat it (now I
think of why haven't used replication, duhhh). The migration went with
a few problems, but nothing too big.
