No, and I'd expect that ispell doesn't want them either. Of course many 
people have moved away from ispell too...

I haven't heard from much of anyone, which isn't necessarily what I want 
just before a release. So I think we'll have to prod some people into 
confirming that the current snapshots are working, bugs have been fixed, 
etc.

My guess is that the release will have to move back a small amount, but 
that's not too surprising. Still, I'd like to get it out before I head 
to my parents for the holidays.

I think it seems easy enough to generate the defaults.xml from any 
changes. So why don't we get the documentation over first. (It seems to 
me that it'd be easier to patch defaults.cc, then re-generate 
defaults.xml?)
