Though it is sometimes recommended to start from scratch with an all new setup run to avoid problems.
But of course, If you would start working on such a migration tool it will be taken by the community with pleasure. So just go for it

I didn't realise it left stuff in the folder. But I do know now for next time. It'd be good if there was a notice in the installer telling you that your stuff was safe, or better yet, configuring the installer to not require uninstallation, instead just replacing files as needed, like the SVN builds do..

Well MP 0.2.2.0 wouldn't let me do an overlay installation. It told me it couldn't continue because of an existing version of MP on my machine. It's not like the SVN builds that just glide over the top and everything is good to go..
