It's not a "whole new" world, but it's not something I've done in a long while.  I would love it if someone 
were to explain what everything there does and why they are doing it like that.

When I went to compile the things myself, I kept getting "gegl" and/or "bebl" versions not correct even 
though I had just compiled those libraries as the newest.  It keeps identifying the other versions I have 
installed instead.  (Would it be best to uninstall those? I suppose I should try)

It's nice to have "here's what you do" but when accompanied with what it means and why, then you have real 
learning.
