Did I say that?  Sorry, Bruce's release was dated July 14th, or some-
where thereabouts.  As a sanity check ...

Overall I hope releases to be reasonably professional, with at least
minimal release notes and some basic testing.  This time I was rushing
to get something out before heading off for a wedding in Philadelphia
and didn't live up to my own standards.

The next release will be before the end of the week.  Nothing dramatic
but rather a cleaned up version of the first release plus the driver
for /dev/rtc and a slight bit of reorganization to separate code from
local configuration.  I'll even test it and include some documentation!
(If anybody has any additions please send 'em to me ASAP.)
