That makes sense.

It seems pretty easy, so I started on this.

Executing the instructions for upgrading from 1.3 to 1.4/trunk went fine.
You did not mention this, but I've assumed that the steps for migrating
from 1.4.X to 1.4.8 should also be performed, so I did that next. Again
no problem.

However, then the 2.0 migration instructions point me to
enforcer/utils/1.4-2.0_db_convert/README.md. This instructs me
to execute the convert_sqlite script. The script starts off with
a reference SCHEMA=../../src/db/schema.sqlite, but that schema.sqlite
file does not exist anywhere in the src distro.
Should it? Or should it be generated somehow?

In any case, here I am stuck ... please advise.
