True.  I've now marked that as executable in CVS.

I think I'd prefer not to try the file layout reorganization before the
release.

I think the big thing we have to do before we cut over is figure out
which pieces of qm.sh need to get incorporated into qmtest.py.

A first puzzle is how -- using qmtest.py as the main executable -- to
get Python optimization turned on.  (In other words, we want to invoke
Python with "-O".)  Is that possible without a separate shell script?

Thanks,
