i will do that when power returns... extremely high winds have lead to a lot of 
damage in this area :(

that's why i run make clean and/or make distclean before updating from SVN... 
past discussions say that this should avoid this problem... but, as you and 
another noted, evidently the fpc config is pointing to the (now old) rtl 
directory and that needs to be changed, too...

in any case, thanks for all responses on this... when power returns, i'll be 
revisiting this ;)
