Paul,
I'm in the midst of merging the build-fixes branch to 1.5.x (running tests now)
so 1.5.x will be back to a stable state for further review. Given that there
may be conflicts between build-fixes and the reintegrate-improvements branch, do
you want to bring reintegrate-improvements up-to-date with 1.5.x after I merge?
