[Chandler-dev] Improving the migration experience

Another scenario where migration of user data is necessary:

* The Chandler Desktop installation is managed centrally by a network 
administrator.

* Chandler Desktop user data could be on any workstation or network 
drive.  The application administrator doesn't necessarily have access to 
it, even if they know the location.

In this case the migration has to be checked for and take place at 
run-time.  It's also the kind of situation where you're likely to have 
the least tech savvy users.

If the migration process does have to be separate though, perhaps it 
would be nice if it were possible to run it at the start of a script 
which launches the app, with enough configuration possible by the 
administrator to avoid frightening the user.
