And I'm not just trying to be a jerk.  I'm really 495 messages behind on
just the -commits list (thanks to a week at a hotel with a high-speed
"Internet" connection that blocks all encrypted traffic).  That's really
where the best documentation and the best information will be.  It's
ticket #1104, plus all the other tickets and commits that may not have
specifically referenced #1104, but which are related.
