Should be safe, possibly even desirable.

The main changes since 0.5 are: a number of bugfixes for Mac OSX,
several Notebook and Combobox enhancements and bugfixes, stub 
library support, and an ongoing build system overhaul.

Changes that might break stuff: the "pixmap" element factory
has been removed, which will break any third-party pixmap themes
that haven't yet upgraded to the "image" element factory
(added in 0.5); and the Great Renaming (replacing "TTK_"
with "Ttk_" in the public C API) will break dependant extensions.
The only dependant extension I know of is tile-qt,
which has already been updated to work with CVS HEAD.

There's a bunch of stuff I had wanted to get implemented
before releasing 0.6, but just haven't had the time.
What's in CVS now is IMO stable and relatively bug-free,
and has some significant advantages over the 0.5 release
for OSX users and authors of dependant packages.

So unless anyone else (Pat?  Michael?) has anything cooking
that they want to get into the next release, I think now
would be a good time to tag and bag 0.6.
