 After making the change in #3716, and running sysupgrade on an Asus WL500g
 Deluxe, this is the output I got:

 {{{

 }}}

 The warnings about being unable to open mtd partitions, functions not
 implemented, awk not found, cannot create etc. are rather worrying - they
 imply that the upgrade has gone horribly wrong.

 In fact, it ''did'' reflash the device correctly, and appears to have
 restored changed files from /etc/config/*.
