With a great deal of manual adjustment and rebasing, eleven of these fifteen
patches have been merged.  The exceptions are:

(3) more efficient clean:
The proposed Solaris-derived "find" syntax is even less portable than what it
replaces, notably w.r.t. to the platforms we actually support.

(8) typo in python xlator
The Python binding has been non-functional and deprecated for a while, and
instead of trying to fix it we should just remove it (possibly to be replaced
some day by glupy).

(9) no-op lines in rdma
This removes lines that are clearly intended as continuations of the previous
one, which is simply incorrect.

(15) Use system libuuid.
I'm pretty sure we had a specific exception to the bundling rule for this, but
I don't remember the reason; maybe someone else on the list does.  In any case,
Fedora has already accepted it and they're the authority on the matter.
