In terms of time investment, autoconfiscating branch-1_4 is no big deal 
really.  I resisted the pressure until now simply because there has been
no obvious advantage to investing that effort.  I don't mind doing it
in order to get some concrete return.  Now that 2.0 is at least a few
months away,  releasing 1.4.5 is certainly worthwhile in the near term.
Before we do that, I'd like to add Make rules to automate the production
of the web documention with gendoc.sh.

Is there anything else that needs to be in the tree before making a
1.4.5 release?

Cheers,
        Gary.
