I don't even want to _think_ how long this would take on my SS1+.  This is
the third day now and I still don't have AbiWord.  Now I'm stuck because
gnome-libs won't build - because it says "IMLIB 1.8 not installed - please
install first" - although pkg_info says "imlib-1.9.8" has been installed.

I guess that's the only way to get my machine going again.  I think the
package system was probably written by m$.  "Got a problem?  Easy!  Just
install everything again from scratch [thrice]!"
