[support] Views D5 - D6 Upgrade

[Margie Roswell]

This is a good question.

I'm putting on my thinking cap: In my book on Views 1, I've got a
"Views worksheet" that might be helpful. Basically it's a one-sheet
summary of Views options. Still a manual approach, but might make it
easier to track what's going on in each view.

(This D5 book will be available in a few weeks. We'll also do one for
Views 2, but it'll likely be available next year. Have to write it
first.)

If folks have automated Views upgrade approaches, I'm interested.
