I just noticed from the commit logs that Pavel's name is spelled Pavel
Stěhule. That mark above the e is a caron, and is explained here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caron
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%9A
Can anyone suggest how to get that into the release notes, considering
that we are limited to HTML4 entities in the SGML?

It's a Latin2 char so there's no usable representation AFAIK. There's
an XML numeric escape but I think we cannot use those.

OK, just confirming. Thanks. Sorry Pavel. Pavel, if you would prefer
some other 'e' character we can use, please let me know.
