Will try to do some more on this over the weekend.

I got stuck on the weird os.mkinfo problem (still unsolved) and got a
bit distracted by Me TV rewrite ­required to be ready soon so as to
watch the 6 Nations games. New DVB-T2 USB sticks arriving tomorrow.

On the really up-side, it appears that "futurize -1" is properly
idempotent, making it a lot easier to work with than anything
previously.

Aim is still to get the code-base working properly, i.e passing all
tests, as a Python 2.7 program, so that it can then become the default
branch. My thinking here is that if we do not have a separate branch,
but instead are evolving default to be Python 3 compatible as a Python
2.7 codebase then Python 3 usage will happen faster. The "down side" is
that all Python 2 code must be written with Python 3 compliance from
merge time on on, this includes all pull requests.
