I did that on an XTR because I had no choice, but I thought that the
RaQ550 relied on php and was better done so that upgrading might be
safely accomplished. In any case I'm giving it a go, hopefully I'll
get @INC to where it should be and chose the compatibility options so
everything should still work.
I really prefer to only have one instance of a program.
