Ok, going the cvs route now -- initially I ran into another problem 
trying to compile from cvs, but fortunately I still had some notes that 
said for cvs compile it was necessary to add the --enable-build-doc 
switch to configure. Then I got an error that "convert" couldn't be 
found. AFAIK that's part of imagemagick so I am now in the process of 
installing (i.e., compiling) that and all its dependencies -- this 
non-binary fink thing reminds me of gentoo a lot!

So maybe the configure script should check for "convert" when also 
building the docs?

Let's see what tomorrow brings!
