Michael -- if you send me your sf ID I'll add you to the committers
list and you can check these in directly.

Vis-a-vis the gtk question, I agree that we should encourage people to
upgrade who are suffering from the leak rather than work around it.  I
would like to summarize the status of known leaks for the FAQ so
perhaps you could summarize across the backends what kind of leaks
remain in the --without-pymalloc with the known problems fixed (eg the
gtk upgrade).  If you could simply send me an update for the memory
leak FAQ (don't worry about the formatting, I can take care of that)
that would be great.  Or if you are feeling doubly adventurous, you
can simply update the FAQ in the htdocs/faq.html.template svn document
and commit it along with your other changes.

Thanks for all the very useful and detailed work!
