In Intellij when you use a new version of Intellij it ask you "We see that you have settings from a previous version of Intellij, do you want to use this settings in this version?".
Maybe we could do the same. If we launch Pharo 6 for the first time and there is no 6.0 directory, it could check if there is a 5.0 directory. If there is one it ask to the user if it want to import them.
If the user wants Pharo would import the settings and export them in the 6.0 directory. If the user does not wants it ask if this is a definitive decision or not and on a definitive decision we add a script to the 6.0 directory to not ask again.
