Yes, this is a busy list.  But.. as a practical matter, installation of
libmwf resolves the issue, so while I can understand wanting to dig thru
this, I'm not sure why this dependency isn't simply included as I

Oh well, I found the issue for myself, I suppose the next poor soul will
re-live the pain.
