OK. I've analysed the diffs:

1. These are entirely harmless documentation fixes.

	documents/parameter_proposal.txt
		Additional comments
	
	documents/release_rules.txt
		Add "rename 'grass' directory to 'grass5.0.0XXX'"
		Change upload location to grass.itc.it
	
	html/html/g.gisenv.html
		s/grass4/grass5/
	
	html/html/i.ortho.photo.html
		Number menu entries
	
	html/html/r.in.gdal.html
		Misc. updates
	
	html/projections.html
		Add krovak, krovakgis
	
	html/vector.html
		Add v.label

2. These are simple fixes which I'm recommending (i.e. they will be
merged unless someone objects).

	src/display/devices/CELL/Graph_Clse.c
	src/display/devices/CELL/Graph_Set.c
		Fix crash bug
	
	src/libes/edit/edit_cellhd.c
		double -> void
		X-Y fix
	
	src/imagery/i.class/curses.c
	src/imagery/i.ortho.photo/photo.2image/curses.c
	src/imagery/i.ortho.photo/photo.2target/curses.c
	src/imagery/i.points/curses.c
	src/imagery/i.vpoints/curses.c
		Change parameter name from "true" to "ok".
	
	src/libes/gis/flate.c
		Use #error instead of invalid code
	
	src/libes/ogsf/GS2.c
		In GS_unset_att(): gs->mask_needupdate = 1; [bug #1196]
	
	src/mapdev/v.digit/remove_block.c
		Add " (y/n)" to prompt
	
	src/raster/r.colors/cmd/main.c
		Document "byr" type
	
	src/scripts/contrib/v.plant/v.plant
		Recognise --help
	
	src/raster/r.proj/cmd/bordwalk.c
	src/raster/r.proj/cmd/main.c
	src/raster/r.proj/cmd/r.proj.h
		Finish bordwalk fixes

3. I need more information on these, but they seem sufficiently minor
to be uncontentious.

	NEWS.html
		Document fixes since pre5

[Some of the changes which are documented here are up for discussion;
the NEWS.html which is supplied with 5.0.0 should only mention changes
which actually make it into the release.]
	
	src.garden/grass.postgresql/tutorial/index.html
		Change "destroydb" to "dropdb"

	html/database.html
		add r.to.pg
		remove v.in.shape.pg
	
	src.garden/grass.postgresql/Gmakefile
		Disable v.in.shape.pg
	
	src.contrib/GMSL/NVIZ2.2/scripts/panel_cutplane.tcl
		??? log message is:
			Bob Covill: fix for z scale range: bug #1202
	
	html/html/d.dm.html
	src/display/d.dm/d.dm
		add PNG feature

	src.garden/answers/src.answers/raster/r.slope/inter/Gmakefile
		Appears to be just s/stdout/stderr/ and Gmakefile fixes

4. These seem to be more substantial upgrades, so I'm more sceptical
about including them.

	html/html/r.info.html
	src/raster/r.info/cmd/main.c
		HTML fixes
		-r flag
	
	html/html/m.in.e00.html

	+ src/ps.map/ps.map/cmd/ps_fclrtbl.c
		Add height option to "colortable" command
		Add pat, pwidth, scale options to "vector" command
		Support FP colour tables.

5. The remainder are I18N fixes to key components (libgis, startup,
tcltkgrass). If they break anything, they may well break everything,
so I'm opposed to including them in the 5.0.0 release.
