      Description

      We need to run some detailed testing on the 1.5 to 1.6 upgrade and get documentation drafted for it on the wiki.

      Based on feedback from Dave Lange - there may be a problem in upgrading Preferred Communications Options data. We should also carefully check other properties that were moved from DB enums to option_value keys (e.g. gender, activity type, accepted credit cards, indiv_prefix and suffix, etc.).

      The upgrade process should also attempt to read the existing civicrm.settings.php file and copy applicable settings into the DB config (civicrm_domain.config_backend). This means the user doesn't really need to replace/update their settings file - we'll read the "legacy values" stored there the first time 1.6 is initialized.

      NOTE: Re Upgrade Doc... I don't think there's a need for upgraded sites to "replace" their 1.5 settings file - as we'll probably wind up w/ an approach where we completely write that file from the UI for 1.7 (hence let's not worry about the cruft).
