I changed my mind about this, and created a "branden-post-1.23.0" branch
anyway, without changing "post-1.23.0".

This is done, but on the new branden-post-1.23.0 branch, and pushed.

I've organized the commits in the branden-post-1.23.0 branch in the
following order.

1.  Changes that affect only plain text files.
2.  1 + changes to man pages and our Texinfo manual.
3.  2 + changes to test scripts.
4.  3 + changes to Automake/Autoconf files.
5.  4 + changes to Perl scripts.
6.  5 + changes to macro files.
7.  6 + changes to .c and .cpp files.

Subjectively speaking, these are organized by increasing risk.
Personally, I would like to see things up to and including #4 in RC 4,
but it's Bertrand's call.

Branden
