Certainly no thanks to the summer lull. Thanks for giving us a kick!

All sounds fine. I'll certainly test on my Mac 10.6, and can do so in a virtual 
environment depending on what kind of coverage there is.

You're going faster than I can review, which is great. I've pushed a few minor 
fixes, but otherwise all looks fine.

I can take on stripping out the XSL, but as all comments on that issue have 
said, it's not a priority.

Added comment about deprecation warning.

One other small thing which is mostly noticeable thanks to git's whitespace 
highlighting is that ^M line endings are creeping in.

Finally, I'm going through 
https://github.com/PyTables/PyTables/wiki/ReleaseProcedure now, but am fumbling 
a bit with XSL on Mac (https://github.com/PyTables/PyTables/issues/82). Nothing 
major.

Cheers,

P.S. Do we want to rename/close/merge the 2.3b1 milestone?
