Thank you!!!

I have queued these (aside from 10/13, which is being replaced by a
patch from Julian Anastasov) for further testing and review.  And with
the usual wordsmithing.

If testing goes well, I might try to get 1/13 into the next merge window,
which would simplify things if maintainers want to take their patches
separately.

							Thanx, Paul
