[M3devel] trouble with RC2 -- maybe with hudson?

That's OK.

So we may have to build RC3 sooner than intended. There's always
the workaround to just call cm3 -build before shipping, but many
of the install.sh scripts will fail for RC2.

Can you check in a fix to the release branch? We may be able to
build new packages tomorrow evening or at the start of the week.
