Just take into account that the RELEASE file doesn't match exactly how 
6.00 and 6.01 have been done, but rather how I'd do 6.02 after learning 
from these.  When you try the instructions, give preference to what you 
read in the RELEASE document if it differs from what I've done in the past.

If you find any issues following it, please report them! :-)

Cheers,

Alex
