if you go down this train, you will need to pass $from_version and
$to_version to make sure that a) the module knows how to handle the new
version and b) the module does things differently depending on the
starting point.

i'm not really that enthusiastic about this. i don't really see the
need. i'd rather be sure that padre has some sane defaults, that may
differ depending on the os platform.

can you elaborate which problem you're trying to nail down?
