Yeah, we should probably be considering the current state of master as a
release candidate, and anyone who can possibly pull it down, build it, and 
feed back any new bugs should do so.  

My point, though, is that we should probably be slowing down on these tweaks
(we've really done a ton of work in the last couple of weeks), and when the
dust settles and we get some confirmation that there's no new breakagee, 
we should call it 2.1.2 without further ado.
