[support] Views D5 - D6 Upgrade

[Bill Fitzgerald]

We have been manually upgrading views between D5 and D6. The 
architecture of Views 2 allows for more efficiency in how you set up 
views -- for example, set up a default view, and then generate multiple 
blocks/pages off that view -- this is possible in D6, where it wasn't in 
D5. Recreating the views manually allows us to make sure that the D6 
upgrade actually leverages the advantages D6 brings.

Cheers,

Bill
