  This is a packaging issue/CVS timing issue.

  The Makefile does the right thing and looks at the datestamps of different 
files to figure out if it needs to run a collect.

  However, for that to work, files have to be created in a specific order.

  If you just do a 'cvs checkout', it doesn't create the files in the correct 
order (there is in fact, no easy way to fix that).

  However, when the official releases are made in tar format, the order the 
files are put into the archive (and thus, order they are extracted in) is very 
specific, and thus it doesn't try to rebuild the archtypes.
