Mostly it's been getting new tarballs out with the accumulated bugfixes
and cleanups that have been sitting in git for months, along with getting
them built with current autoconf/autotools (including AM_SILENT_RULES)
so that fewer people have to autoreconf before building them.

There was also a bit of me getting tired of the docs sitting in xorg-docs
waiting for someone to convert them to a format with free, open source
widely available tools before moving out to the individual modules, and
deciding that *.txt files and groff files counted for that.   I wasn't
expecting groff to cause as many issues as it did in the tinderbox - sorry
about that - since we release xorg-docs so rarely I tried to get a bunch
out of it before this release.

I also would have liked to see them out farther before the release, but
didn't have a chance to get them done myself before now, and no one else
got to it either.
