  I've been letting this sit a bit, and I probably shouldn't have.

  It's not just the patch checksum that's the issue.  The patch with the 
mismatched checksum was checked in by accident.  However, monotone-viz was 
broken with newer versions of monotone at the time I made that oops.

  There's a newer upstream version of monotone-viz than the last successfully 
built fink version, however it has been problematic.  I've been able to get it 
to build, but it dies with an exception immediately when run.  I've been 
unable to debug the problem.  Having an overflowing plate at $school, $job, 
and $other_job doesn't help much in this regard.

  I've exchanged a few emails with the upstream author.  It was with his help 
that I was able to compile it at all.  I gave him information about the 
exception problem I'm having, he suggested something that should have gotten 
more verbose debugging (but didn't, oddly), and I've not heard back after 
that.

  What do people want me to do with monotone-viz?  Remove it until I can get a 
version to build and run correctly?  Leave it as is until I can fix it?   
Restore the older version that built and ran correctly but won't work with 
newer monotone?  Some other thing?
