Yes, it will be; but it's small, and I intend to mention this upon
announcement.  After the switch, those who don't want 0.6.x can just
uninstall it on the next run of setup.exe.

We cannot do this! If one ignores advice and is installing libIDL2 it will overwrite the current libIDL. If the current libIDL is uninstalled after installing libIDL2 it will be broken. Have not the right idea how to handle it gracefully.

We must ensure that an installation of libIDL2 forces the current libIDL
to be uninstalled at first.  I still think the easiest way would be to
rename libIDL to ORBit-libIDL or to include it completely into the
ORBit package.  Then in addition to create an empty libIDL package which
will uninstall the current.
