There's an account of renumbering experiences here from work we
did last year:

http://www.6net.org/publications/deliverables/D3.6.1.pdf

and

http://www.6net.org/publications/deliverables/D3.6.2.pdf

There's a lot of recommendations (20 or more) on things that would
be useful to aid renumbering further.

But the basic network oriented approach using prefix advertisements and
deprecation works across the operating systems tested.   As Jeroen
says though, there's a wee bit more to it than that.   Perhaps most
importantly network management tools need updating to understand that
IPv6 hosts may be multi-addressed, and to be able to validate/verify
the phases of the renumbering process.
