r1 -- vegetable stew

[burr86]

Internally we're doing some work to help us organize our releases even more; one thing we're doing is numbering our releases. We had to start somewhere ... so today's release is officially "Release #1". However, I also like to eat, and to that end, I decided I wanted to nickname our releases with food names. Today's release "Vegetable Stew", because there's a lot of stuff in it, it's good for you, and it takes a while to finish. :)
