I've gotten no complaints from anyone so I'm ready roll it out as soon as 
tomorrow.  Mac and NT folks haven't said anything major so I'm ready.  I
want to proofread the README one more time, perhaps add a msg about
0.7.1 at the top - and the verify that there aren't any other
outstanding issues to be added to the BUGS file.  

Chris D - are we okay on the MANIFEST front?

I was saving this bug for last since it was easiest! It would be great if
you could apply this.  So you're also volunteering to purge $VERSION
variables from all other modules?  That sounds like a plan.  Amazingly I
was mulling over this just last night.

Go for it!

I'll compile my checklist of things we want to verify before releasing and
see if anyone sees anything missing.
