+To update to 0.6:
+1) stop ckdb and ckpool
+2) connect to postgres and delete the contents of all the tables except:
+	users, idcontrol, version
+   e.g. in psql to see all the table row counts: \i tables.sql
+	and to delete the rows from a table: delete from auths;
+3) in pgsql: update version set version='0.6';
+4) rename all your ckdb20140*.log files using the src/relog.sh script
+5) start ckdb
+6) wait for ckdb to say it is ready - i.e. wait for it to reload all the
+	ckdb20140*.log files
+7) start ckpool
+
+You can speed up step 6) if you don't care about losing the contents of the
+DB forever: just go to the log directory and rename all the ckdb20140*.log
+files something like: rename ".log" ".ignore" ckdb20140*.log
+(or delete them)
