upgrade.py does this:

rodney at allegheny:~/proj/m3/git/cm3/scripts/python$ python upgrade.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "upgrade.py", line 4, in <module>
     import pylib
   File "/home/rodney/proj/m3/git/cm3/scripts/python/pylib.py", line 656, in <module>
     if Target.startswith("NT386"):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

I did 'do-cm3-front.sh' buildship' and 'install-cm3-compiler.sh upgrade',
with front removed from the m3cc line in pkginfo.txt, since there were no
changes to it, and it takes longer to compile than everything else combined.

upgrade.sh now segfaults after cleaning things out, but that is no doubt just
the now-broken cm3.

I always make backup copies of cm3 & cm3cg in /usr/local/cm3/bin before installing
a compiler, but restoring what I had before does not fix the problem.  I suppose
it is in m3core, which I guess I need to add to my backup habit.
