Default Upgrading

Might I suggest that when installing a new version of Limewire, a couple things happen differently:

- Present the user with the option of upgrading an old version, instead of just installing a second, newer version. It's really clunky having to uninstall the old version then install the new version to keep things clean.
- If the user chooses to upgrade, have the option to migrate the settings and library over from the old version. Also, put the new version in just a universal "Limewire/Program" folder instead of the version numbered folder crap. Ditto for the program group (Start Menu folder) in the Windows version. Then, of course, delete the original folder and all related settings.
- If the user chooses to install a separate copy, have it behave as it does now.

It seems like with each new version, I forget to uninstall the old version, then when I try to go back later and uninstall it, things break and I end up wiping limewire out completely to start over. This ain't a good thing.
