+Migrating from Enlightenment 0.16.7 to 0.16.8 
+
+Users upgrading from enlightenment 0.16.7 need to read the following.
+
+Several organizational changes have occurred that will require
+some manual adjustments. Mainly these deal with changes to 
+configuration and shared directory names. This was done to avoid
+collisions with the new enlightenment DR17.
+
+1) home configuration directory is now ~/.e16, not ~/.enlightenment.
+2) menu files have been moved to a subdirectory called menus
+   you will need to move customized menus and subdirectories to
+   ~/.e16/menus. Note: because of this menu files will have to have
+   menus/ prepended to it in order to be located. Ex:
+   file.menu file...
+   "User Menus"
+   "User Application list" NULL menu "menus/user_apps.menu"
+   whereas the old menu version did not have menus/. 
+3) you will need to move ~/.enlightenment/backgrounds files to ~/.e16
+   and any themes as well.
+4) $prefix/share/enlightenment has been changed to $prefix/share/e16
+5) if installed E-docs and Epplet directories will have to be moved 
+   to $prefix/share/e16
+6) any additional themes that were added to the $prefix/share/enlightenment
+   directory will have to be moved to $prefix/share/e16
+7) any startup scripts or Session scripts that reference the startup
+   executable `enlightenment` must be edited to the new e16 program.
