How is that a waste of time?  You've got the latest stable 2.4 installed I
presume.  Do the svn-up/make dance (at least on Unix-y systems - can it be
much more difficult on Windows?).  If it breaks something, either figure out
why or drop back to 2.4 for a week or two and try again.  If application
breakage remains, investigate.
