Not so much "lose" as have to get libraries manually or mess with the<BR>
config file. I copied over the dev config from the support--dists and<BR>
modified it for to be used with a tagged ucw--dev.<BR>
<BR>
So yeah.<BR>
<BR>
You know what, though? 'tla buildconfig' should support a --tag option<BR>
of some sort. Someone should go bug Tom Lord. Or I should get busy on a<BR>
CL tla clone. :-)<BR>
