Well, it's been the tree for 2 days now we'll surely get bug reports
as soon as people run into these hypothetical issues (though I
expect very few, if any regressions).  I think the globals cleanup
is worth having in 2.1 because it makes the code more maintainable.
 If you want to move back to a more stable revision, I'd suggest
2.1_pre7 (before manifest2).  I believe manifest2 introduced more
potential for regressions than the globals cleanup did.
