I've dropped this one line from this patch, and build is working again. Patches
1-7 look ready to go to me. I'm pushing these to my review branch from some
additional automated testing.

Let me know if there are any objections for 1-7. If we can get these queued now,
we can simplify the review effort for the major functional changes in 8-14.
