Actually, it has. The entities/package file was bumped when
I was sure I'd gotten a build right, so that it matched the
latest tarballs. Unfortunately, I botched it because I had
connectivity problems between my build machine and the one
I'm allowed to run a special modified socks-aware cvs on from
inside the corporate get-in-the-way-of-work-wall (some people
mistakenly refer to this as a "firewall").
Since I'm home now there's less of an imperdiment, I'll
check in the change now.
Sorry 'bout that.
Don't know anything about the other one, Sean is almost
certainly right.
