Apologies, but I was unexpectedly taken ill before being able to look
at that.  The required changes are now committed, along with a version
bump and updates to the NEWS and pofiles.

The NEWS could use a tidy, but I think given the simplicity of many
bug changes it's hardly worth it.

It's late here and I leave a "make distcheck" to run overnight to
confirm everything.

Indeed.

Anyway, update tomorrow :-)
