Indeed.  The release was a mistake, I believe.  Hopefully we can get it

We're just doing a 'make dist' in the Red Hat branch, and applying a few
local patches to 'redhatify' it.  You guys probably want to do something
similar, rather then try to do a merge.  We just found the branch to be
a lot easier than trying to juggle a whole bunch of patches.  If you're
having specific problems with that branch, you should ask on this
