We'll have to be a lot more careful about the 2.0 final release.  PEP
200 has a tenative ship date of Oct. 10.  We should probably have a
code freeze on Oct. 6 and leave the weekend and Monday for verifying
that there are no build problems on little- and big-endian platforms.

... and 64-bit platforms (or those where sizeof(long) != sizeof(int) !=
4) <grin> - a change yesterday to md5.h caused a compilation failure.
