[support] Upgrade from 4.7.2 to 5.10

[Victor Kane]

The upgrade process itself (upgrade to latest 4.7.x before upgrading
to Drupal 5.x) is safe and well documented.

1. http://drupal.org/node/36996 (Introduction to upgrading)
2. http://drupal.org/videocasts/upgrading-to-5

You might, however, run into problems with modules you might be using,
so you should read up on their 5.x state, and the upgrade problems
others might have registered in the issue queues first.
