Another way to look at this is that you are a knowledgeable guy.
You are having problems.
If you are having problems doing things in what should be a simple prescribed
way then there is probably something wrong that needs fixing.
However, please don't take this as a criticism. I know that you are busy
and you are a MAJOR contributor to the project.
It is just perplexing to see so many other people treat issues like this
as if it was a closed-source Microsoft-like project where the only venue
for getting questions answered is via "technical support" rather than
"technical discovery".
