   (Thank you for the answers to my questions, directly.  I'll try  
those out and come back with useful responses later.)

   Very much the case.  I looked at make-live, and determined that if  
you provide "config" as it's first command-line argument, it does the  
setup and run of lh_config (including 30-bazillion environment  
variables), and then doesn't do the lh_build.  So, that's what I'm  
doing now, and then running the lh_build myself as you suggest.
