Well, I guess I can hold off 1.4b a little longer ;-)
In all seriousness, I think that HEAD has gained enough code to warrant my
first (late!) monthly release this weekend. Since we are already more-orless
in feature freeze on HEAD after the MLB merge, I hope we can shake the bugs
out with 2 or three monthly alpha releases and aim for 1.5 before the end of
September.
FYI, I have cleared the backlog in libtool-patches now, though I have a lot
of messages unread in address@hidden and address@hidden

Yuck! I've taken the opportunity to rework the bootstrap script slightly and
remove some of the redundancy that was in there. Thanks for the patch!
Cheers,
Gary.
