With step 2, you should probably mention the issues that can arise with 
non-ASCII data in char fields. The character set really needs to specified 
in the dump. After the upgrade to 4.1, the default charset of the server 
should be set to something compatible and then the charset of the data 
should be specified to mysql when re-importing the backup.

Just another one of the many gotchas...
