No joy:

I tried zapping my packages module and doing another clean checkout.  Much
better:

    % ls -l
    total 176
    drwxrwxr-x    7 skip     staff         238 Feb 11 10:17 CVS

    -rw-rw-r--    1 skip     staff        2071 Jan 14 13:20 find-macro-err.awk
    -rw-rw-r--    1 skip     staff        1922 Jan 14 13:20 gen-macro-list.awk
    ...

I guess I should just chalk it up to experience.

To mangle a turn of phrase from Johnny Cochran: "When in doubt, you must
checkout"...
