This is possible.  However, I'm going to have to ask that people work 
with me to get the 1.2 done sooner rather than later.  From now on 
please limit patches to 1 bugfix per patch.  

Things I will no longer accept this far into the freeze are:

- Patches that fix more than one bug at a time.  Patches can depend on 
other patches, that's fine, but of course please don't make them 
dependent if they don't have to be.

- Patches containing trivial spelling, spacing or formatting.It slows me
down tremendously to read through this stuff, I'm a very slow reader.

- New functionality.  Forget it, 1.3 will open after we have all the 
major issues with 1.2 ironed out.

Thank you for your patience.
