Think he was saying, "Go from your existing 0.20 version to the new 
MiniMyth 0.20 version.  If it doesn't work, roll back to your previous 
0.20 version.  If it does work, try the MiniMyth 0.21 version."  I don't 
think "0.20 test build" differs from the 0.20 version users are 
currently running other than "OS" changes.

Basically, the new MiniMyth 0.20 version is a good test of whether the 
other changes will work on a system before changing the DB.  If the new 
0.20 version worked, but the new 0.21 version didn't, the user would 
have to restore the DB from a backup to downgrade to 0.20.
