upgrading a installed system

[GoogleCodeExporter]

the idea is to modify the installer to allow simple
nondestructive system upgrades.

it all boils down to a simple disk/mkfs, maybe with
asking the user what parts should be upgraded (src only,
binaries) can be handled with proto files.

a file tree compare program would be nice too that walks
a proto file and compares local files with files from
the distribution to get a list of files that will be
affected by the upgrade.
