Best way to update gcc-wrapper

I finally upgraded to gcc--3.2.2 (from gcc--3.2) and realized that I needed
to upgrade gcc-wrapper as well.

I edited my team's package/gcc-wrapper.xml file to show the new version
number in two places. Then I wondered how to deploy the change.

First I tried

  ark package reveal --verbose gcc-wrapper

but nothing happened.  Ark knew that it had previously revealed this
package.

I found a clue in the automount-maps package description on "Sidai team: the
`*-config' packages" page of the Ark web site:
http://ark.sourceforge.net/sidai-config-pkgs.html.  It said,

  When we make changes to the maps, we run 

    sidai/package-utils/ark-invasive automount-maps

  to re-do things.

Snooping around, I found this additional guidance on the "Sidai team: notes
on booting ARK stuff" web page: http://ark.sourceforge.net/ark-boot.html.
It said,

  ToDo: say something about `ark-invasive' ...?

Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.  After examining ark-invasive and

I admit that's what I do, too.  It's slow and painful, but
it means only remembering one thing :-)

ark-invasive could easily be considerably improved.  It's
presently just 'ark package uneverything ...' followed by
'ark package deploy ...'.  As you've seen, that's often a
big hammer to crack a nut.

Alternatively, we could add a method (probably to
sidai/ark-vwrapped.xml), something like
'change-version-wrapper-version' that would do the business
directly.

Yell if you think there's some place we should add something
to some documentation...
