I'm hoping to release a first, rough alpha of Python 1.6 by April 1st (no joke!).

Not everything needs to be finished by then, but I hope to have the current versions of distutil, expat, and sre in there.

Anything else that needs to go into 1.6 and isn't ready yet? (Small stuff doesn't matter, everything currently in the patches queue can probably go in if it isn't rejected by then.)
