Before the next release, the only thing I want to
do to linalg is complete the user documentation. Yes,
I've been thinking about restructuring some linalg code.
But (1) linalg is in /share, many users will be able to
download a new version of linalg and use it without
much hassle (2) I don't anticipate changing the user interface
to any linalg functions (3) linalg passes its test suite
(4) it's unlikely that I'll want or need to change something
in /src to make linalg happy.

In short, let me complete the user documentation for linalg
(add missing functions -- not much else). After that, if
everything else is ready for a release, I say let's do it --- I
agree there have been lots of changes since the last release.
