Looks like most of these issues are taken care of.  I have a few
things to button up elsewhere, but should be pushing changes tonight
or tomorrow that will enable alot of this.

Also won't need to use my personal github any longer :)

I'll send an update to everyone on what to add to localrc to make this
work when everything is in place.

Thanks,
John
