Re: release number? (was: Christmas release? :))

[Bram de Greve]

If you're interested, I've merged the current trunk with the
WIP-pyshapelib-bramz branch into something that seems to work (at first
glance =).  You'll find it as r2795 of the WIP-pyhapelib-Unicode branch, to
make things complicated (*) =)

(*) In reality, I will use this as my starting point for further
development.

Bramz.  It should be possible to back port _that_ particular revision to the
trunk fairly easily.
