Either is fine.  I am not moving 'next' beyond what is necessary for
this release cycle during the pre-release freeze period, and because
I thought that Peff was in favor of squashing in the changes to the
original when the next cycle starts, I haven't bothered to merge the
fix there yet.

I think Ævar's point is just that the current tip of next is badly
broken if you use bitmaps, and it's worth hot-fixing that in the
meantime.

I know that ;-)

My point is that anybody who *needs* handholding from the upstream
project (i.e. not Ævar, but those whom he is trying to help with the
suggestion) should not be looking at 'next' during the prerelease
freeze.  They should be looking at 'master' instead, and that is why
I am not spending more than minimum cycles of my own worrying about
'next' during the prerelease.

In any case, I think the final is ready to go, almost.  I still need
to do the preformatted docs, though.
