[pLog-svn] wizard

[Jon Daley]

 	I think it would be nice if it wouldn't error out - makes for 
easier testing, and makes it so that all of us (developers) can just 
re-run the wizard, and not end with out-of-sync databases, like what 
happened to me and a handful of other people on the forums in the upgrade 
to 1.0.

 	So, to do that, we just have to be smart about checking the data, 
and not failing the whole update, if the data has already been modified. 
Nothing else failed for me, but I have now re-run the wizard a couple 
times - everything seems to be okay, have I messed up my database by doing 
that, I assumed that is what all of you were doing - I guess you have just 
been testing on clean installs, and off of a backup of your 1.0 install 
each time?
