Hmm. I might have screwed up something else too. Maybe it's time to  
wipe most of that install clean and redo it...

I just checked on the old laptop, and it has the correct help file  
library. The one at work doesn't. I probably caused that when I let  
it install hh to the default location, and then just tried to rename  
the directory. Silly me.

It looks like r15739 is going to finish successfully on the home  
laptop. Time to nuke the work machine...
