OK, so it's been >24 hours since this was committed, and I've not received any 
bug reports yet.  This means once of three things:

(1) There are no bugs.

(2) I've broken everyone's systems so badly they can't submit bug reports.

(3) Everyone is waiting for everyone else to upgrade due to the advance notice
     of instability.

I consider (1) highly likely, (2) a property of 1990's development and we've 
left that time since most people have multiple machines now, and (3) much more 
likely.

Please help test these changes!  I leave for a trip to the US on Thursday, and 
I'd rather get things working before I leave than while on travel, it will 
save a lot of hassle for everyone.

And if you're reading this after spending 48 hours getting your systems 
working again to the point where you can read e-mail, sorry :-).
