All illumos NFS fixes, at least, probably the last stable can
be put in safely (have a short /dev/a8 prelease if in doubt).

The cleanup of the png12-png14 hassles would be nice, but
I don't know if this can be done, the current workarounds
with LD_PRELOAD_32 are working, but problematic for the
casual user. /hipster hasn't this clean either, maybe that
breaks libflash there. The recent gnome-terminal break (minimize
from upper border to generate a crash) shouldn't happen, that
would have a major impact on users.

And #3275, #3318, #3305, #2805 and relatives , all mostly solved.
