To install 31DEC06 you must do a full installation - the MNJ uses cvs
which is too smart to allow simple renaming (we tried hard but it is
simpler to do a new installation).  Note that we now offer binary
installations which use "expensive" compilers that have better
performance than the free GNU compilers.  The binary installation is
particularly simple, esp when done on a system which already has an
earlier installation.  In any case, you should bring your 31DEC05
version up to date with the MNJ.
