OS upgrades are painful

Must we overwrite everything with a disk image? Most of the data
doesn't need to change.

I'm mostly dogfooding here. I install development tools (gcc, make,
joe, cvs, libSDL), check out my source code, etc. My only real cheat
is to ssh in from a machine with a reliable space bar. A nand flash
overwrite means I have to reinstall everything, S-L-O-W-L-Y.
