Is now available, based on the source tree as of ~3am on Oct 15th. 

With this BETA, the source code is frozen...there is *absolutely* no
changes to be made except that which is required to fix a bug that
pertains to the building and/or running on a particular platform, or to
fix a crucial bug.

If any BETA can stand, on its own, for 1 week, without a change being
required to the source code (docs don't count in this), then it will
become the released version.

Again, unless it is a *crucial* fix, please withhold all patches until
after we get this released and out to the public...

What about the inet stuff.  I'm just waiting for Paul's inet_cidr*
functions to test and submit the final stuff.  As it stand it will
crash the backend if you use it.  I guess that makes it a bug fix,
right?

I'll submit the builtins.h changes in the meantime.  Perhaps I can
cobble up my own version of the inet_cidr* functions at least to
be able to test my functions.

	But of course :)  Anything that affects the backend, especially
something that can relatively easily reproduce a crash, is a definite bug
that needs to be fixed...

I like your thinking.

Just wait and submit the whole thing.  It is more likely to work in that
case.

Yes, I think that will have to be slipped in.  Hope Marc agrees.

Sure.  I meant that I would cobble up a rough approximation of the
functions locally just so I could test my stuff.  I'm still waiting
for Paul to build the real ones.
