If you didn't happen to use a function strangely named 'isvar()' in your
scripts, that is ;-P An off chance, sure, but still not a negligible one.

Objection, y'ronner.

We have a reasonably trusted code base right now.  Let's avoid making any
modifications that aren't strictly needed to get important things done.  
I don't think removing options from ./configure is important.

In other words: I would propose an immediate code freeze of all the C
sources (only bug-fixes, and then only if they're small), a release of
3.8k ASAP, and a release of 4.0 on, say, Easter (mid-April).
