Some people may elect to start a new "bbvar" directory when they
upgrade, but it is no necessary. The client part and server part
of each version will un-tar into a different directory name. So,
if you install them at the same level, the "bbvar" directory will
automatically be in the right place. E.g. :

  $ ls /usr/local/bb
  bb1.9g-btf   bbc1.9g-btf   bb1.9h-btf   bbc1.9h-btf   bbvar

If you want to do something more fancy with your directory
structure, you might need to move "bbvar" into the required
location. If so, it's helpful to check that the timestamps for
the status logs are preserved (in the future) by the move,
otherwise there will be much purpleness :(

Cheers, Phil.
