mangos two updating mangos after 8 years of neglect?

[GuidoDeVille]

I used to proudly maintain my own MaNGOS server like a champion but never rebuilt it after migrating to a new computer. My last backup is from rev 11242 on 11/08/2011. What would be the best way to migrate the old characters database to a new version of the modern Mangos Two server? 

also, EasyBuild doesn't seem to recognize the MySQL server I have running via XAMPP.

It would not be impossible, but would take a bit work...  With the server being that out of date, I would say start fresh.
