Excellent.  Let me know if you have any problems.  This is all a bit 
experimental.  I've done a lot of testing on 0.4 using consistent 
snapshots as a base for changes.  The use of the inconsistent planets as 
a base for applying changes may have unexpected wrinkles.  Changing to 
0.5 *shouldn't* break anything but you never know what will turn up.

It would be worth starting from planet-071017.osm.bz2 if possible 
because it has overlap with existing daily changesets.  Looks like there 
is a 242MB planetdiff available to avoid a complete download.  If you 
use the older planet I believe there'll probably be a window of missing 
changes.  Using planet-071017.osm.bz2 as a base, I'd start applying 
changes from 2007-10-15--10-16-00:01:01.osc.bz2 to be on the safe side.

I should be able to test this out myself tomorrow, but I'm away from a 
decent net connection at the moment.
