Ok.  As it turns out, now that our directory hierarchy again mirrors 
that of branches/release, it isn't so bad to just track the release 
branch.  I'm content to wait on merging with trunk, we don't have the 
manpower to maintain two branches and are focused on branches/release
in order to get installers built as close to the main 1.36.0 release as 
possible.

Do we know who does packaging for the major linux distributions?  It 
would be good to look at making .debs and .rpms as well.
