Okay, updated the snapshots (and the sticky) to mention the KUAL/;log shenanigans on >= 5.12.2.

Updated a bunch of stuff:

* Python & SQLite shells now behave properly (i.e., they have working readline support, which makes them actually usable).
* dropbear has been updated (and is once more built against its own libtom* copies, because there were growing API mismatches w/ upstream). Might be faster, will probably be less glitchy.
* FBGrab has been updated (mainly to handle amdgpu fbs properly, which I broke when I tweaked nvidia EFI fbs handling. Which, granted, doesn't have anything to do with Kindles

).

And, most importantly, Python 2's EoL is approaching, so I've started pinning some 3rd-party modules to their final versions in the Python 2 build (Python 3 will happily keep chugging along on bleeding edge code).

(i.e., Pillow is stuck @ 6.2.x on Python 2).

So, if you start noticing stuff that relies on third-party modules breaking with Python 2, do ping me. (Because, for instance, Pillow master currently happily still builds against Python 2, but will implode in fun and interesting ways at runtime ^^).
