I just added a 'doc' directory and checked in the fragments of 
documentation I had in my sandbox. Everybody is welcome to change and 
improve those docs. Florent's writeup would be indeed a valuable 
contribution.

BTW: In which checkin list do GenericSetup checkins show up now?

Florent writes about *incremental* exports, not about *selective* 
exports. Selecting specific export steps should still work.

I have to admit that I never understood why import steps have a 
"version" attribute. And I still don't understand that concept: Does 
that mean each upgrade needs its own import steps?
