more guitar refretting

How have people gone about refretting existing guitars?

I can think of two general approaches. It seems you could take out the
existing frets and add your new frets to the existing fretboard, filling
old slots with putty or something. It might look strange, but I expect it
would work fine in most cases. Or, you could remove the fretboard from the
neck and completely re-install a new fretboard. This would look better and
give a more professional result, but would be a major effort and would
likely be very difficult to do without messing up the neck or ending up
with the fretboard too far or too close to the strings.

What have other people done? Problems encountered?
