new bug tracker

[Andrew Conkling]

Brian,
I'm making a post on the forums to reflect this; I'll put them at the
top of Feature Requests and Bugs, fittingly.

A question for you devs: Do you read the forums for those two things, or
better: do you plan to now that the bugzilla is up?  If not, I'll note
it in the forums and perhaps those two "topics" should dissolve....
