Bruce,
I have to say that I am losing patience with trying to maintain this particular piece of code. It isn't anything more clever than a wrapper which downloads, unpacks, and builds the tarball. In truth, it isn't all that hard for the user to just download, unpack, and build. It is, however, proving hard for me to stay on top of a moving target.
--- Unless someone can give me a very compelling reason that horae_update --- is *necessary*, I am inclined to discontinue supporting it.
personally, I think that if the instructions to download-unpack-build the tarball are clear enough (as they are now), the horae_update is simply a luxury that could be avoided, especially if it creates more trouble to you than necessary.
