Thanks for all the reviews.

Barring any last minute blockers, I would like to schedule the final 
merge sometime this week.  Ideally, trunk should be free of activity 
while I do the final test and commit.

This merge touches several files, so I'm thinking that the best time is 
going to be on Thu 16/Aug around 2:00 GMT.

Once the merge lands in trunk, Lawrence and I will be monitoring 
automatic builders for any problems that may show up.  In the next few 
days we will be doing follow-up patches for VEC, hash table and gengtype.


Thanks.  Diego.
