Are we waiting for any special dispensation before checking in changes
to 2.57?  Do we have whatever global go-ahead we need?  For instance,
if I upgraded something simple, like fastjar, could I just commit it?

Are there outstanding issues for target libraries?  I think the new
Boehm GC already uses newer auto*, and the users are asking for an
import.
