I think it's safe to backup your ~mvend directory and then try the
install as usual (following the quickstart instructions). You shouldn't
need worry so much about your stores, since they are directly affected
by the upgrade. In the worst case scenerio, you restore your old ~mvend
directory and start using it again (which is what I ended up doing,
sucessfully. :) 
   Good luck!
