Yes, it works fine now.  Thanks for the libLASi fix.  For those not
subscribed to lasi-devel, I hope to make a libLASi release later today so
that many/most -dev psttf users will benefit from Andrew's fix which I view
as a fundamental safety check rather than a temporary workaround since it
does the logical thing (produces a blank) if pango/cairo/fontconfig delivers
anything but an outline font glyph (which is the only form of glyph that
libLASi can use).

-dev wxwidgets builds again as well for the 2.6.x version of wxwidgets.
Thanks, Werner!

I will deal with the python single-precision issue later.

Thus, from my perspective it appears we are ready for the PLplot release
this weekend.
