I've been trying very carefully to avoid changing things that would
make this necessary.  All of us on the devel list can fairly easily
figure out the steps needed to bootstrap an incompatible upgrade,
but I figure there may be other users out there that simply download
the code on occasion and type make.

Unfortunately, I couldn't avoid the problem when I moved some of
the compiler data from the `node alist' to a slot in the node itself,
so I wrote the note to aid people that might have gotten stuck.
