An update: I now have a first draft of this change. The compiler
compiles again (at one point, it got several thousand lines of error
messages), though it will take more work to bootcheck again.

My request not to commit anything that touches the item list,
or items, or statuses, remains in place. My diff is currently
about 16,000 lines, and I would STRONGLY prefer to avoid conflicts.

Zoltan.
