I am not happy with pl17 or pl20, pl21 probably won't be much
better due to the large amount of cleanup work in it.  However,
pl22 should be pretty stable.  (Actually PL21 is pretty stable,
but who knows what we broke)...

Pl21 should be out in a week or so, PL22, who knows, but not
too much after 21 (its only going to fix things we broke in 21)
and then I hope to stop issuing patches except for major bugs.

If you are waiting for 3.0, better re-read my signature, it
says 1994, not 1993, and I make no committment as to when in
1994, so its at least a year off.
