Beta or RC by Wednesday evening

Hi all.

I've been a bit out of the loop for the past few days, but it looks like
STATUS is pretty empty, and has been for a while. If there aren't any
objections, I'd like to roll *beta* 1 tomorrow evening.

I know some people may feel we should call this an RC, and if that's
what folks want it's fine by me. I personally feel that we still have a
couple of unresolved issues ('log -g', for instance) which warrant
calling this a beta, rather than an RC.

Anyway, please get your fixes into 1.5.x by Wednesday evening [it'll be
late, I'm on the (US) West Coast right now.]
