Just a quick note, but I think you'll find that you've got 1.5.4 Alpha 
release now  (or whatever that branch is up to), rather than the 1.5.3 you 
were expecting.

Er, not sure on this one, I think it might depend on how far through the 
previous checkout attempt it got. I would probably trash the src directory 
before doing the 1.5 checkout.
