 It wasnt hard on my 1.3 system . Took 5 minutes. On a system that I do
not have any compilers on it took less time.

 Only if you stuff installing the new dual format ld.so support. Its 
just as dangerous as upgrading libc.so on a live system.

 I didnt reinstall anything other than the libraries, only slowly as
I get new applications or upgrade old ones are things converting to ELF,
most of my systems are running, quite happly a.out binaries.
