- -current has weather: NFS installs in May Jun required write privileges
on the NFS share so the local system could build what it felt was
out-of-date, but then at some point root mounts lost write
privileges (even though linux can mount NFS root rw no problem,
I haven't bothered to track this down yet).  And that is basically
a GOOD THING, so I've tried hard to get my installs working that
way.  Through a lot of July and August this was no problem.  But
in September it started again.  It's a timestamp issue with
dependencies, I am guessing, but I'm a cmake man these days, and
don't know how to debug it.

(and am I'm the only luser around that depends on thunderbird
 external editor to make my messages readable, and now that it
 appears to be broken I'm back to stupid land?)
