upgrade from beta v1.0

> My initial thought was to get it to build first

If I remember correctly an old CI 1.7 project of mine had the system files incorporated into the project. I was unable to do an upgrade and rewrote the project.

First try to get the project to run and if necessary connect to the database. If successful then create a new CodeIgniter project and gradually import the data.

Best of luck and keep us informed of your progress.
