Does not look like anybody else is planning to work on any of this
before the release (or maybe the long weekend is at fault), so I guess
it's ok with me if you choose to release in the next day, and check in
your local changes regarding multiline fontlock and multi-extension
parsing a few days later.  It does not seem like we'd get many
pretesters in other ways.  If things come to worst, we can still
branch a bug fix branch off the release tag.
