[rt-users] Schema 4.0/4.1 upgrade for MySQL

[John Arends]

It fails in all sorts of spectacular ways. I tried doing a manual 
install, had trouble with that too. Since this step only needs to be 
done once I'm just going to set up a "throw away" virtual machine and 
force an RPM to install over the current version and use it to run the 
script.
