Upgrade your Jailbroken iPhone 4 from iOS 5.0.1 to 5.1.1

This was absolutely painless...

Download latest version of redsn0w.
Upgrade to latest version of iTunes.
Connect phone to Computer while running.
Accept offer:
- from iTunes to upgrade your jailbroken phone.
- to back up your iPhone.

Turn off iPhone while connected to computer, do not unplug.
Start redsn0w, click on Jailbreak button, next, follow iPhone power-on instructions
Wait while iPhone is jailbroken and reboots.

When iPhone has restarted, swipe the Springboard to the right and type in Cydia. Its on there, but its not got its filesystem configured, and it has a transparent icon when its not been configured yet. So, once you see that transparent icon, activate it and it should show you as message saying something about configuring the file system. For me, this message went away after about 60 seconds. The phone rebooted twice and then I had the normal Cydia icon and I was able to install Mail Enhancer Pro and it found my previous configuration (essential for techops email filtering) ....done!
