Sounds good.  I don't think I'm going to make any more small changes
while I'm in the middle of this p refinement stuff, though; you've
already had to fix one of my poor attempts to commit a changed file
that wasn't in sync with my local sandbox.

I think I'm ready to sync my current code to CVS now, actually.  I'm
having trouble thinking of a quick way to test adaptive p refinement
(is there such a thing as a simple element-by-element way to decide
between h and p refinement?), but our existing examples and my uniform
p refinement tests are all working now.

It's always the unanticipated stuff that gets you.  That's why I like
this collaborative software development stuff; there's always someone
else to catch your bugs if you don't!  ;-)

On that note, we probably ought to put a global tag on the CVS head
before I do my next big commit.  I don't think there's anything that
should break any code which doesn't do p refinement, but it's a big
change that touches a lot of files, and just in case people do start
running into bugs it might be prudent to make reverting the whole
changeset easy.

Ben, would you mind doing that (and letting me know when it's safe to
commit)?  It's been a while since I've done anything with CVS tags;
I'd hate to find out I'd accidentally started a new branch or
something.
