you got it from ucw_public, i accidentally pushed it late one night
when i'd had a bit too much to drink and wanted to restructure ucw's
directory layout...

it turned out to be a gratuitous change and i thought better of it.

the short story is that i do stupid things from time to time. you're
doing everything right it's just that there are some patches is
ucw_public which i have no intention of applying to ucw_dev (and
should in fact unrec from ucw_public).

when stupid things like this happen _please_ bug me and make sure i
keep things clean.
