Danek, Paul -- Thanks for your replies.

I should have also mentioned that I punted on doing a full
nightly before trying to get PUFA to work.

Funny you should say that -- given my reckless tendencies, that's exactly
the first thing I did. :-) And that got it further -- to where it stopped
and said something about not being able to support ftp downloads yet. np
-- I just downloaded the tarball manually and tried again. That got me
more further, but then there was another $WS related check that made it
stop... I think it said something about a directory not being writable.
(BTW, I was running it as root... What... Am I NUTS? Well, see my first
sentence.) So then I poked around the portion of the source where that
error message is and got the impression that it was again expecting a
teamware workspace. So rather than commenting out more if/thens, I thought
maybe the next thing to do (but I didn't because it's something I'm
clueless about -- plus it was late) is try and figure out how to make my
svn workspace appear to PUFA as a teamware workspace.
