Darren, I fully believe that there are bugs in the build system. I'm
working on fixing several right now, in fact. However, the more you
insult people, and the more you look for ways to complain instead of
trying to help, the less they often are going to listen to you. People
generally don't want to work with people who spit at them, and you
shouldn't believe that you're somehow special in this regard. At the
moment, I'm no longer inclined to read your mail.
