The current status is my comprehensive tests found a linking issue
which is now fixed.  That essentially finishes off the last release
uncertainty.  However, I am currently working on some substantial
improvements to the script that generates the release tarball to make
it possible to use it for preliminary checks before the release is
tagged, and there is still some editing of
README.Release_Manager_Cookbook to do.

The weather is complicating matters; a serious windstorm is predicted
tonight, and we are just now getting the first serious gusts from it,
and there is some chance we will have a power outage as a result. But
I am tired and don't want to make mistakes by rushing to beat the
windstorm. So it is likely the release process will extend to
tomorrow.

Until then, the commit freeze is still in effect.
