We need a new (tested) version for the USPAS course at Baton Rouge in January.

I don't want to have to teach students that they have to write subroutine 
record routines in C++ and to include that horrible registration kludge. 
To fix that I committed the changes to add the function() keyword to .dbd 
files, but that happened since 3.14beta2.  I wouldn't want to teach using 
an untested version, although I guess providing it passes everything on 
Linux (RH7.3) I'd be happy.
Ideally the sysadmin guy would put it on the disk image for ghosting to 
all the student machines rather than us having to install it separately. 
The only deadline he's given me so far is "sooner the better" but I'll try 
to find out what that really means.  My hope is that mid-December will be 
Ok, but certainly no later, which probably means that serious testing 
should start as soon as possible after the JLAB meeting.
