After reading the UPGRADING the best way seems to be to make a clone  
of the database used for Horde3 and point Horde4 at it to let the  
schema upgrades do its job and fire up the data mangeling scripts.  
What is not obvious is what happens to now obsolet tables like  
horde_datatree? I guess they will not get deleted so housekeeping is a  
manual task?

Any comments?
