I said SE 1.0 in order to be able to compile gexslt.
Then we would have had to unset $SE_1_0 and run
'geant clobber; geant install'. But it might be
cumbersome. Also I just noticed that gexslt crashes
when compiled with SE 1.0 in boost mode when running
'cd $GOBO/doc; geant install'. It does not crash in
debug mode nor when compiled with other compilers.
Probably a bug in SE 1.0's optimizer.

I'm not very keen in testing zillions compiler versions.
So I dropped SE 2.1 and only kept 1.1 and 2.2b1. So
we could use SE 2.2b1 for the delivery. The drawback is
that gexslt would have to be compiled with no GC to avoid
the compiler crash. I tried it, and with no GC it does not
take that much memory to run 'cd $GOBO/doc; geant install'.
So it might be OK. I also had to set the split mode with
SE, otherwise it would generate too big C files for
Visual C to cope with.

What I usually do it to rename my 'gobo' directory to
'gobo.work', prepare the delivery in 'gobo', and then
get rid of 'gobo' and rename back 'gobo.work' as 'gobo'.

You can do the delivery in 'gobo-fresh' if you want,
and then:

   * rename 'gobo' as 'gobo.work'
   * rename 'gobo-fresh' as 'gobo'
   * tar and gzip 'gobo'
   * rename 'gobo' as 'gobo-fresh'
   * rename 'gobo.work' as 'gobo'
