1.2.4 is maybe a manageable upgrade for you.

Maybe you didn't read README.migration in 1.3.3?

If you are still unhappy with that, maybe you should help to write 
better documentation (or just use the usual support methods as other 
people successfully do).

As long as we support IIS, Apache1/2, fastcgi, modpy, twisted, 
standalone (did I forget any?) and a setup.py with options (user home 
install, root install) and different OSes like Win32,Linux,MacOs X,*BSD 
there can be no "simple manual" because every server and installation is 
slightly different.

There could be 2*X*Y simple manuals maybe, but we simply don't have the 
resources for that.

Therefore we try to describe how it works and a server admin should be 
able do the installation with that knowledge.
