A patch that affects this many files is bound to interfere with a
few topics already in flight, but after applying it on top of
2.3-rc0 and then merging the result to 'pu', the textual conflicts
are still manageable.

I eyeballed it briefly and saw nothing glaringly wrong.  Let's give
others some time to glance it over.

Thanks (and thanks to those who read the previous iteration).
