Modulo a few mistakes. The trouble is that I've been running the whole
series of commands in 'INSTALL' to test this, which means the code I'm
testing has to be in HEAD...so mistakes that I'd usually catch and fix
in testing, before they're ever committed, are committed before they've
been tested. But stability does seem to have been achieved now AFAICT.
And a process like this is less awful now that reinstallation ab ovo
takes only five and a half minutes. I remember when it took forty-five.
