Excellent. Only 19 hours left to get me to hold off then... ;o)

Git will send a message to the list when I push the prerelease patch
to set the version numbers in configure.ac, libltdl/configure.ac and
NEWS.

At that point, please don't push anything until I commit postrelease
patch that resets the version numbers to 2.4.1a, which will probably
come less than an hour later (depending on how long the final `make
distcheck' needs on my build machine).
