I haven't heard of any problems here.  What went wrong?  How did you
fix it?

The build process should use the zip that was built as part of the
tree.  Why wasn't that one used?  Why would you want to use a
different one?

Likewise, this is the first I've heard of this.

There are docs on the web page.

Hmm.  I don't know what the problem here is offhand, I'm afraid.
