Plus a few patches based on the feedback I got here. And some security fixes. Yeah, those. Some of 'em have barely hatched and have little real world exposure, but can't be helped. If we'll need rc3 then we'll have rc3, it's not the end of the world. Just bleeping annoying. But on with the show.

Ah, I did run the test-suite but not from the created tarball. One more 
thing to remember when cutting releases. Or rather *cough* to document 
*cough*.

Applied (with a slightly expanded comments).

...but this I had just missed. It appears to be cured by commit
cherry-picking commit 3929ce4d58ab18c810b9a776f5c49d56cb436026.

...and this I'm not seeing at all. Please post 
tests/rpmtests.dir/277/rpmtests.log ... or does it happen to go away if 
you cherry-pick commit 3c74e34e8d8c5b3db024dbe04a352e807ed2b627 ?

Thanks for testing & the patch!
