Got committed.

I think this will be OK. The apparent problem is really due to my 
abusing refstyle. I'll have another look in the next few days.

Seems resolved.

Fixed.

Fixed.

Fixed.

Fixed.

Can wait.


> #12842 - UTF-8 in math label; Koji + Enrico work on that

Fixed.


> #12852 - seems we can't open weird filenames under Windows anymore (worked in 2.3), but might be difficult to reproduce

I think we have a fix, but someone needs to commit it. It would be good 
to do this before the next release, so it can be tested.

I can't really evaluate these.

Retargeted.

Fixed.

This works as it is. The big question is whether to include more than we 
presently do. Previously, it only made sense to include labeled 
equations, since the label is all that shows up. Now, it would be 
possible to list all displayed equations, but it's not clear if that's a 
good idea or not.
