+	Three main issues accomplished: (1) cleaned up variable names in
+	the filesystem code so that 'pathPtr' is used throughout.  (2)
+	applied a round of filesystem optimisation with better handling
+	and caching of relative and absolute paths, requiring fewer
+	conversions.  (3) clarifications to the documentation,
+	particularly regarding the acceptable refCounts of objects.
+	Some new tests added.  Tcl benchmarks show a significant
+	improvement over 8.4.5, and typically a small improvement over
+	8.3.5.  TCL_FILESYSTEM_VERSION_2 introduced, but for internal
+	use only.  There should be no public incompatibilities from
+	these changes.  Thanks to dgp for extensive testing.
