 Suggest: Installer to archive changed pages during upgrade

 I suggest that at the very least, the Installer archives changed pages
 during the upgrade process in order to stop the obvious over-writing of
 modifications. A choice being whether to download such a zipped file
 and/or to archive it on the server.

 My preferences would be that we adopt adopt a phpBB-style upgrader which
 was able to check diffs and offer a choice of merging or over-writing.
