Somewhere along the line, the release-1-7-x branch was corrupted with new
and partially completed features. AFAIK it still builds and runs, but it's
no longer viable as a bugfix-only branch. Thus, I have avoided releasing it
as such. I also lack any ability to track down the source of the corruption
and resolve it, as we are still on SVN.

I can make a release, but the last time I looked, it would violate any
semblance of bugfix/maintenance and would be a partially implmented 1.7-1.8
bridge that definitely held defunct code.
