    I will readily grant you that the instances in this CVS repository
I'm working with appear more like "oops" than anything that genuinely
matters.

    However, it did make my life much easier when I didn't have to
fiddle with the source repository.

    Yeah, 2.3.x is where I started from.  Sorry that what I offered
doesn't work for now, but it sounds like you're doing a much more
thorough job than I had done, anyway.

    Thanks for looking into this further!
