Oh nnooooooooooooo-(takes breath)-ooooooo...

Damn. I hadn't realized. I'm a moron.

Ok, so it's an extra-special -rc1. It's the "short bus" kind of special 
-rc1 release. But quite frankly, I'll just let it be. The git tags etc 
look to be ok, it's just my editing of the Makefile itself that was too 
complicated for my little mind.

I'll try not to do that again,
