As of revision 9914 I have dealt with a whole bunch of these little
irritating bugs and done the corresponding install-tree testing.  That's all
the bug fixing I plan to do for 5.9.4.

Other than that release critical aqt.rc.in issue, there are two other
recently discovered PLplot issues that I am aware of. Neither is release
critical, but it would be nice if somebody got one or both of them fixed for
5.9.4.

* The plserver (but not pltcl) issue with 'invalid command name "plrandd"'
generated by example 17 that I recently discovered for both the
-DENABLE_DYNDRIVERS=OFF and -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF cases.  Somebody with Tk
expertise will have to deal with this really strange result.

* The plend1/plend issue.  plend is not very different from plend1 so
hopefully someone can figure this out in short order.

I note Werner is still working on implementing more D examples for 5.9.4
(good), and I hope to finish the libqsastime ToDo list by Thursday now that
I have finished the minor bug fixes that I was taking responsibility for.
