Well, that didn't work.  The upload script wants more metadata, even
though every file already has metadata (since they've all been through
the upload script before).

OK, here's the first batch:

That's 44 so far.  These were mostly ones with MIME separators in
them.  There were 27 such files in the failed-file archives you made.
There were another 5 that were submitted for release 0.09 but for
some reason weren't in the failed-fail archive for that release
(even though they are listed as failing in PASSFAIL.txt), so
I fixed these as well, except for two that are already in the
collection under different names (presumably having been resubmitted).
In addition to these 30, I fixed 14 other files with various problems
(mostly wrongly encoded non-ASCII characters).

By the way, many of the files in the incoming folder have HASH
garbage in the keywords - some have no real keywords at all.
