So I can take it that I'm not going completely off the rails? :)

This stuff is quite... disruptive if you get it wrong, so I'd like to
see +1s before I commit to Trunk. Having said that, I would like to
push to Trunk with small patches, gradually making things more
environmentally aware. So if this particular batch of changes looks
sane, I'll push it, and leave the GetText/System changes to stew for
another few days before pushing those to Trunk.
