What will be necessary to change to upgrade to this new 2004 Shimano Dura-Ace. Cassette is obvious, but what else???

Chain, rear derailleur, rear hub/freewheel and brifters for sure. I'm not sure if the FD, crank and BB will be required for smooth shifting or what.

I would suspect the entire drive train: Ergo shifters, Cranks, BB * derailleurs. I haven't looked on Shimano's web site, but they may have something posted.

I don't think so. At most, people will just replace their freehub body. Also, according to CyclingNews... (http://www.cyclingnews.com/tech.php?id=tech/2003/news/jul25)
Will the new Dura-Ace be compatible with existing nine-speed wheels?
Yes. The ten-speed cluster is very slightly wider than the old nine-speed, but will fit on a nine-speed hub with just a little over-hang. However, the new ten-speed hubs and wheels will only take a ten-speed cluster.
