I have two more fixes that should really go in 4.0, one is the
tls_schannel fix that I plan to push soon (I'm the author of that
module, so unless someone says otherwise soon), and the MSVC configure
breakage introduced in the last 2 days.
Not sure when you planned to tag, but hopefully both of those are
resolved by tomorrow afternoon.
