Greg: sorry for the duplicate mail, I didn't hit reply-all on my
initial response.

In general I would agree with your comments, though I have found that
the SUMO build is just plain convenient for when I have access to
machines but not root access to install dependancies, giving me the
capability to run the software in the user land without much hassle.
