I don't have any pending changes, other than the patch that was posted
here.  I'm figuring given that patch it'll be time to release a new
version so if there are any other changes folks need, this'd be a good
time to get 'em in.

Btw, iirc, that encode_entities() bit was added in there at someone
else's request (Jonadab?) to fix a different issue, so the one thing
I'm curious about is if removing it might cause the other bug to recur.
(Maybe it had something to do with foreign characters in the metadata?)
I figure it should be easy to check it by just re-running it over the
entire clipart package and see what turns up.
