Yes, when we started a couple of months ago we got it fresh from cvs. I had
to get it at home and carry it in on a  flashdrive because some fire wall
between here and there prevented me from pulling down at work.  Then I had
to get Cmake and get the Dad-Blasted thing to compile. Then I had to find
the right options to beat it with to get it to work on simple example code.
Finally, I point it at our library and what does it do? It blows up in my
face.

If there has been a major update in the past 2 or 3 months, it might be
worth checking out again. otherwise I am not throwing any more time down
that rabbit hole.
