I think the catch is many, if not most 2.1-2.2 users (including myself 
on 2 different servers) have BDB metadata files.  What I'm looking for 
is a way to convert all the BDB files to skiplist, since this is now the 
default (and BDB is a pain in the a**).  Of course imapsync could be 
used for this when migrating from one server to another, but as was 
pointed out in a previous discussion on migration, many users are 
upgrading the same server, not moving from an old server to a new one.
