Bother -- I've already cut 2.63 (but not released), and the 
versions of the pages that Eduardo worked on are going to be in
that release. 

Of course we can move to the versions that Jeremy has worked
on.  A question: Jeremy, have you seen Eduardo's versions
of the pages (which I sent to Arnd a couple of weeks back)?
If so, is there any material in those pages that is lacking
from your versions of the pages?  (Sorry, I have not had a
chance to look at your pages yet.)

Cheers,

Michael
