	I'm confused about upgrading from BSD0.1.20 (i.e. no patches at all) to 
patchkit 0.2.3.
	My question is: do I need to work my way to 0.2.3 via 0.2.2? Or can I go
direct to 0.2.3?
	
	The existence of a specific 0.2.2-0.2.3 patchkit seems to imply the
latter,
but point 1 in the UPGRADE-0.2.3 readme file says:

>	1.  Install patchkit 0.2.2.  You must be at patchkit 0.2.2 for this
>    upgrade to work.

	This implies that I'll need to install 0.2.2 first.
	
	What's the story?
