hm? The git tree builds fine here, anyway (modulo some warnings).
so quick, cut an alpha1 before it breaks. ;)
(but if you mean: we should get the latest stuff on the list in first,
and fix it so it builds - ok - but there will probably always be more
stuff to pull in, so at some point when we have a reasonable amount of it
in place, we could cut a test release? There's always "alpha2"...)
