Upgrade from Bird 1.3.6 to Bird 2.0.7

[Alexander Zubkov]

Just run two instances of the process. You have to use different
control sockets for them (-l <control socket>) and better different
pid files, if you use (-P). They can have common config file (-c
<config file>), but for nontrivial configuration most probably you do
not want it, as they will have conflicts listening to
sockets/interfaces.
Why one would need it? Why not? It of course depends on what you are
doing and if that makes sense, but it is possible.
