  Are you still supporting Python versions before 2.0?  You may want
to be careful to test using 1.5.2 if so; I think the Python files in
the Python CVS tree use string methods in some places.  We can change
that if needed.

  Perhaps a source comparison would help?  I don't have time to do
that today, but I don't think you're on *that* tight a schedule to get
0.6.1 out -- if it's available by next Monday everyone should be
happy.  ;)
