I applied patches 1-3 to my tree just to make it easier for people to
start doing this. Maybe some people want to do the conversion on their
own subsystem rather than with a global script, but even if not, this
looks better as a "prepare for the future" series and I feel that if
we're doing the "fallthrough" thing eventually, the sooner we do the
prepwork the better.
I'm a tiny bit worried that the actual conversion is just going to
cause lots of pain for the stable people, but I'll not worry about it
_too_ much. If the stable people decide that it's too painful for them
to deal with the comment vs keyword model, they may want to backport
these three patches too.
