In fact this sounded too ambitious.
Looking at build_upgade you are searching for the sqfs files. I assume that the 
update script will be ready for 5.2 or later; and for 5.1.x we do not suppport 
sqfs. So update script and the change in leaf.cfg will be made the same time.

A note: New parameters could be necessary from time to time, we've tried to be 
as stable as possible in the past, and we'll do in future.

What I meant with "seamless", was the idea to make "saving to moddb" the 
default, so nothing will change compared to the current behaviour.

I've added a 5_2 directory with all files build_upgrade requires. I guess I'm 
missing the next step...?

What is your idea about the naming of tzhe branches?
