I was going to say "I don't see any problem with that" - but I actually
do envisage lots of problems, mainly from people asking "where is the
backup and restore".

If all the Evo data and settings are now in flat files, is it feasible
to just produce a sample shell script to show how to move all the data
from one machine to another and put it in the FAQ?
