Ok, thanks for comments. Will do.

I didn't touch anything to do with Plugins. I haven't looked at the new
Plugin setup yet, and when I originally started doing docs I think that you
said Adam would be interested in changing the documentation for them
himself.

Indirect files:  description seems wrongish.

Hmm... Ok. My experience with the Indirect data source has only been that it
is the datasource which claims things from http, etc. I will look at the
code for it more closely and try to come up with a better description.

I didn't touch this stuff either-- has anything else in the command line
changed?

I'll wait for George to respond. There's a thread on the list about this,
where 3.3/3.3 is touted, but Andrew says at the end that it's actually 3.4
/3.3.
