We've been building DLV nightly and it seems to work.  The last build
was on Jan/17.  Has it broken since then?

We're having some problems building POOMA, though they seem
configuration related.  Brian, have you had any luck with it?

Is there a PR for the problems you're having with your code?  I'd like
to have PRs for all the major problems people are seeing with the
branch.  We could then have a blocker PR that depends on all of those
that we agree should be addressed before the merge or immediately after
the merge.

Let's face it, when we merge the branch, we expect to have some amount
of fixing work to do.  We can't pretend that the code will be releasable
by then.  But we need to make sure that we merge in a state where the
problems are manageable.


Thanks.  Diego.
