This is the second posting (some of the changesets are new this time
around).  It all builds and runs for me, but a lot of this work affects
some of the oldest, most cobweb-filled code around, and I sure don't
have that hardware.  Some others have looked at, but I'm not sure how
deeply.

The basic concept of this work is straightforward, so I have good reason
to hope I've not done anything really stupid.
