Sorry Olly - just about finished sorting things out now!

For everyone else's information - I've added a couple of
"tracker" bugs
to the bugzilla.  (Bugs #118 and #120).  The first of these is to track 
bugs which need to be fixed before the 1.0 release, and the second is to 
track bugs which we'd like to fix shortly after the 1.0 release.  Other 
ones for later releases can be created as necessary.

The idea is that these bugs don't refer to a specific problem, but 
instead to a target, and depend on other bugs in the bugzilla which 
represent the bugs which need to be fixed to attain that target.  This 
makes it much easier to track progress towards 1.0, and to work out what 
to focus on next to get there as soon as possible.

If there's a bug which you think should be considered for 1.0, feel free 
to add a dependency on #118 - we'll remove it again (or change it to 
depend on #120) if we disagree!  (And we'll hopefully explain why we 
disagree, too...)

The wiki page "TodoFor1.0" should probably be deprecated, but I've
not
yet finished going through it to make sure that all items on it are 
represented by bugs in the tracker.

Both Olly and I would like to get 1.0 released this month if possible, 
and keeping track of things this way should help, but as ever we'll see 
what happens...

It would also be nice to mark this auspicious event in some way - we 
talked about this yesterday and wondered if something informal could be 
organised - ideas included punting and curry! It could be later in the 
year of course.

Cheers

I'm testing builds against Mac OS 10.4.9 at the moment - it all builds
cleanly, but the tests aren't smooth. This is with the latest Xcode,
and nothing clever on the box.

All the quartz and flint tests pass, although
writeabledb::databaseassign1 sometimes hangs for flint. Running it
again fixed it.

check-remote fails during remotetest - it hangs during
netmatch2. apitest on remote backend hangs as well (on emptyquery1,
the first one that tries to do anything), but remotetcp runs fine. I
guess there's a problem with the prog backend on Mac OS X latest?

I can't give anyone access to this machine at the moment because I'm
behind a corporate firewall, but I can sort something out once I'm
back in the UK this weekend. Alternatively, just tell me what to prod :-)
