Great. Thanks!

I'm guessing from your comment above that you only want a single SQL  
script to upgrade from current version to the latest. However, you'll  
find that you will be writing the same SQL statements in each  
"current version" script.

FWIW, we've found it easier to have a single section per schema  
version, so if someone is updating from 1.3 to, say, 2.0, there are  
sql statements to bring it from, say, 1.3 to 1.4b2, 1.4b2 to 1.5, 1.5  
to 1.6, 1.6 to 2.0. So each script clearly defines the transition  
from an older schema to the next level. Running all these scripts  
(which is what upgradedb.pl was doing) would then bring you to the  
current level.

Just my 2 pence worth.
