Select patches based upon developer input.  Have the developer
        provide before and after file revision info so you can do
                cvs upd -jbefore -jafter file
        for each file in the patch.  Where needed, work with developer
        to back port patch.
        Update CHANGES as you integrate patches.

  When ready for release, update version and CHANGES to reflect new release.

  For the CHANGES file, add the date of the release, and drop Engineering bit
  for the release.

  Update version.var, specifically: the ol_patch, ol_api_inc, and
  ol_release_date values.

  If the library API hasn't changed, bump ol_api_revision

  If the library API has changed, bump ol_api_current and ol_api_age and reset
  ol_api_revision to zero

  Lay release tag.  For example:
  cvs tag OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_2_3_35

  Update merge point, and finally notify the foundation.
