Cool.  Thanks for that magic formula.

Thank you.  I was able to update to the latest X packages this evening.  
Still having trouble with them not working properly on my Windows 8.1 
systems, but it may be related to firewalling and VPN split-tunneling 
not working as I'd expect.  I'll continue to troubleshoot, and hopefully 
someone can look at the setup programs' current failure to work on Win8 
and/or with winsymlinks:lnk set.
