Of course as soon as I posted I figured out how to fix it, although not  
how it got broken in the first place.  It turned out that although  
craft thought those two packages were installed, the .exe files were  
nowhere to be found.  I have no idea how or when they disappeared, but  
just --uninstall and then re-installing fixed things, so I'm back in  
business for now.
