That misses the point.  I didn’t have a winsup build system in place, and didn’t want to spend the 1-2 hours it would have taken to reestablish one.

I tried building the manuals on Mac OS X before sending that first patch, but my package manager of choice doesn’t have dblatex yet.

I ended up rebuilding the environment on my Windows 10 test VM.  So, this problem hopefully won’t recur, since this test VM is likely to be promoted to the final version of 10 when it comes out.

Yes, you are *such* a slug. :)

It’s applied.
