I'm still trying to improve the rendering & style stuff, but I'm finding
that there are so many API differences (and people running automatic
code style programs) between 2.1.x and trunk that I'm spending almost
all my time moving changes over.  I mean, it takes significantly longer
to move the changes over than it takes to actually do the changes in
the first place.

The truth of the matter is that I really dont want to make any
improvements anymore because its just too painful.  I thought the
entire idea behind the streaming rendering was that we would keep 2.1.x
aligned with trunk.

REMEMBER - EVERY API CHANGE YOU MAKE MEANS I HAVE TO SPEND SEVERAL HOURS
OF WORK ALIGNING THINGS.  Plus more hours keeping changes aligning for
every future change too.

Should we:
1. just say "ha ha - fooled you" for the people doing rendering (and
other modules) on 2.1.x.  This pretty much means we're calling 2.1.x a
fork.
2. Actually try to announce, vote, and transition API changes.
3. <insert your 3rd option>

PS. And *please* don't auto-format code anymore!
