Details

Right now the Mac installer blows away everything before installing.  Need to
emulate the Windows installer behavior of selectively removing obsolete files. 

Note: Bug #102177 parallels this bug for Linux.  

Both of these bugs are important to nseneterprise because it is very important
that Time Warner be able to upgrade seemlessly from 6.2 to 6.3.  Greg indicates
that Mac support is much more important than linux in this regard.

In support of this nsenterprise requirement I need to verify a couple things:

- Is it a requirement that any of this (or related functionality) be in 6.2 to
support the migration or is 6.3 the target milestone?  

- Besides these two bugs (surgical deletion for mac and linux) and the
ren8dot3 problem on Win98 (bug #97334), are there any other known blocking
issues for being able to reliable upgrade across platforms?
