This is how I always used to do it.  I probably should go back to that approach, but with a link to the on-line info for more current details.

These and the observations below are extremely useful.  I will point out that they relate to items that have not changed in over 6 months in the 3.2 image.  Not to chastise, but just to say, that it's going to take me a bit longer than tonight to deal with them.  The high-order bit is: many thanks for this careful attention.  More like this and we'll soon have 3.2 ready to box up.

I'll try to iterate again by tomorrow evening.

This is progress, Tim ;-).

As soon as we ship it, we can get back to making a great lean kernel in 3.3ff.
