I've been keeping up with the new make, bash, etc, on my own desktop, 
but I'd like to try updating our build machine's packages to see if we 
can get some speed out of the new bash release. However, this being a 
build machine, breaking it would be *bad*.

I *want* to say I can downgrade (not uninstall and reinstall, downgrade) 
to the exact configuration we had by backing up the local install 
directory and - if needed - re-installing from there, but can someone 
confirm that this will (or at least "should") work?
