Thanks, Christopher, for fixing those things.
This discussion obviously brings up the age-old discussion of whether Kepler
should build against a release point in ptII or the head of ptII. I think
our new strategy for modularization argues that we should be building
against specific component versions and keeping those updated as needed.
Although its useful to be able to specify a specific release point in
ptolemy and reliably build against it, I think we also need to be sure we
are tracking the improvements in ptolemy and moving our standard build
forward to new ptolemy release points as bugs are fixed and new features are
incorporated. We'll need to consider this in the new build system as it
matures.
