Upgrade went fine here.  The old mirrorlist is moved to a .pacorig 
instead of the new one being saved as a .pacsave, but I think this is 
what we should expect.  I had a suspicion the new mirrorlist might have 
been removed when the pacman package was upgraded but it appears pacman 
is smarter than I thought....  ;)

(1/2) installing pacman-mirrorlist                  
[#####################] 100%
warning: /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist saved as /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacorig
(2/2) upgrading pacman                              
[#####################] 100%
warning: /etc/pacman.conf installed as /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew
Optional dependencies for pacman
    fakeroot: for makepkg usage as normal user
    python: for rankmirrors script usage

We might want to post a news item because many people would not have 
seen a .pacorig before.  It also means people actually have to do 
merging to keep their mirror settings.

Signoff i686.
