Yes, if that makes the most sense.

No, each commit should be a distinct change (and each distinct change 
should have its own commit).  Having separate commits for the following 
makes sense:

     - Replace tabs with spaces
     - Py3K _fastmath.c support
     - Change _fastmath.c to compile with VC++
     - add MPIR support
     - Add Ron Rivest Test
     - Add unit tests for Crypto.Random.random
     - Update documentation with current state of security of hash and 
       cipher functions.
     - Update documentation with Python 3.x notes.
     - Add unit test for AllOrNothing
     - Fix AllOrNothing and random.sample()

But the following sorts of commits should be squashed into related commits:

     - Removed erroneous print statement from setup.py - it had snuck in 
       from the released 2.3 source
     - Now really staging the allornothing test. oops.

Does that make sense?
