I hate outlook.

Not so much "lose" as have to get libraries manually or mess with the
config file. I copied over the dev config from the support--dists and
modified it for to be used with a tagged ucw--dev.

So yeah.

You know what, though? 'tla buildconfig' should support a --tag option
of some sort. Someone should go bug Tom Lord. Or I should get busy on a
CL tla clone. :-)
