Please be sure to add notes to UPDATING.  The change to version 2 of 
mod_security is a dramatic change that renders older versions obsolete. 
Folks who are using mod_security (includes me) need to know that they will 
have to completely rewrite their rules to use the new syntax.  (In fact, 
you may want to keep the older version in mod_security-1.3 or something 
like that to allow folks who don't want to make the change right away to 
continue to use the old port.)
