A DB_CONFIG.example file gets installed in the db directory so
symlinking the directories won't work.  We could simply use a
post-upgrade function to check if there is a db in the old location
and, if so, print a message saying to stop the daemon and move their
db. If we also post a frontpage news, they should be aware of the
change, I guess.
