Ok, but this is going to take a while as few of the mirrors seem to have
this release yet. I also need to download a new set of everything for
reasons I won't go into.

Is there actually a reason for this though or are you just trying to
keep me busy? :-) It can't be a good thing for us to require that people
upgrade to the latest release of their OS.

I believe a new bison is required now. Don't know much about it other
than ecpg hit some limit or other and much discussion followed. Iirc,
it's only an issue when compiling from CVS, not a tarball.
