Re: [Alephmodular-devel] Preferences status

OoooooKay....

I go to look specifically at this problem of pref-development compiles 
failing under under the PB Compatible target and what happens? 
Everything works just fine. *grumble*grumble* No real rhyme or reason 
to me, but now I can't duplicate it. Go figure.

I'm relaxing today, and busy this weekend. I'll probably see about 
merging the pref-development branch into the trunk next week.
