Ugh :-(

> Tom, can you resend that list of changes you sent to me earlier?

Attached is the updated list.  Note there are a couple of changes listed
that aren't actually in REL7_1_STABLE yet, but if we are going to make
a release it would be easy and profitable to back-patch them.  I will
be happy to take care of that gruntwork if we decide on a release.
