No, I can't.  The configure script craps out on mcopidl, which I don't have.  
It actually turns out that the configure script for umbrello now dies there 
too, although the old script didn't (one of the recent betas that I grabbed).  
What is mcopidl, and why does umbrello now think it needs it?  I can delete 
that section of the configure and it builds fine, and it seems to run fine, 
so why is it there?
