Indeed, that's clearly what I had intended to do, but then I apparently
forgot a step.  Good catch, thanks!

Good idea!  Would you like to propose a patch, test it, and report back?
If not, I'll try it eventually.  I would certainly be very glad to
reduce the number of bundled libraries in our IceCat package, which
seems to be getting worse over time.  Any help on that effort would be
much appreciated.

       Best,
        Mark
