I don't know about your first request, but upgrading to 2.2 isn't
painful at all; my only hitch was looking for stuff which was linked
to libgnumalloc (i didn't know at the time it was in /usr/lib/compat)
and recompiling it.  2.2 has been extremely stable and i would
recommend everyone who can upgrade to do so.
