OK, sounds like what I should do is the following:

* Upgrade current mysql install (3.23.49) to latest stable 4.0 series
(4.0.22 according to the website)
* Test out all applications and make sure everything is working as
expected. 
* Test new features in 4.0.x vs. 3.23.x
* After sufficient time to test, upgrade to latest stable 4.1.x
version. 

I think I can make this scenario work. :) Thanks all for the direction.
Otherwise, I may have run into issues doing the huge jump. 

Greg
