Now for you guys input on this:

1.  delete config.php from cvs entirely

2.  move config-dist.php to config.php

3.  change config.php to only contain text that phpslsash is not 
configured and to read the install documentation.

All three seem to have pros and cons to me.

We've definitely found some bugs.  I think the "remember me" functionality 
should work correctly now.  Mike Gifford had reported this previously but 
I hadn't been able to reproduce.  The cookie path was being set to the 
rooturl.  For good reason some browsers would not read these cookies with 
and url as a path.
 
Another small issue - the poll list cache is not deleted when a new poll 
is added. If someone would tell me a quick regex for "string contains poll 
and not question_id" this would be fixed too.

Ajay - Luis found a problem with the poll total votes if you manually put 
values into the form.  Maybe you could give him a hint.  I remember the 
old days with the bad counts and you fighting with this.

So, yes, I think a point release should be coming pretty quickly.  The one 
thing I'd personally like to see in the next release is Peter's templates 
as the default set.
