Re: [ANNOUNCE] GARNOME 2.17.91 -- "go go gadget garnome"

Hmm perhaps there is another way :) 

Say you have the garnome 2.17.90 tree fully compiled and installed and
you haven't cleaned it.

You download 2.17.91, unpack it and then run a fictional "make upgrade".
Before that, in gar.conf.mk you have a variable that points to the
previous tree. make upgrade starts and for argument's sake looks at gdm.
For garnome 2.17.91 GDM version is 2.17.7 and for 2.17.90 it's 2.17.6. 
Since GDM has dependencies , gar follows those checking for versions as
it goes and flagging which ones need to be uninstalled and
updated...does this sound feasible?
