If you're using the source upgrade, you're probably going to have
to do something like: update to 5.2; update to 5.3; update to 6.0;
update to 7.0.

You're facing an upgrade that takes you through literally years of
technology.  Although there are postings I've seen on the mailing lists
where people have managed it, this is going to be a difficult task.
In particular, you will need to pay attention to the various
src/UPDATING files over this span of time.

If at all possible, please consider doing a reinstall.  You will
probably save yourself considerable time in the end.
