I did take a look at the area51 stuff a month or two ago, but had so
many build errors, I eventually just put it aside.  Maybe I'll have
another go at it.  I'm sure I just didn't take enough time to
familiarize myself with the whole scheme of things and was just doing
something wrong.

Version 4.7.4 seems to be quite nice, though, I must say.  Sure, I'd
like to be more "bleeding edge", but for now, this will do nicely.  :-)

Could you possibly provide a few more clues as to what you're talking
about re: leftover files?

Thanks!
