We can assure an easier transition by releasing a tla 1.2pre2 which
contains the newer parser, but doesn't generate sha1 sums.  This is
incredibly easy to do: just wrap #if 0 around the part that does
safe_write ("sha1 ...);.

Then the final tla 1.2 will do the generation.  And we all only convert
our archives once tla 1.2 is out for real.
