Ah, thanks.  I was away for 2 days, and I had replied personally to
some of the people who brought up GB vs. US spellings.  It's scary to
use something that one takes for granted (in this case the preference
of US spelling in the en_US tree) as an example of why commit messages
are more useful when some of the "what" and "how" is explained in the
cvs logs, only to discover that another MTFH (monster thread from
hell) has just been spawned.

Let's all rejoice now that this is settled *and* documented :)))
