Ok, I did some reverts, and that should handle most issues.  The vast bulk
of the documentation work has been merged into master. If anybody encounters
a problem where their rebase fails because it would modify an untracked
"doc/users/installing.rst", it is ok to skip that commit.  This should only
happen if you happen to have a build of the documentation.

I will see about cutting the release, but I won't be able to upload any
files to SF, unless somebody can give me that permission for my account.

Thanks,
