Thus, it may be reasonable to conclude that I have now successfully
   built HOL Light.

Excellent, Colin!  Yeah, if you're not getting strange bugs, you
should conclude this.  

   > What are you using HOL Light in order to do?

   I'd like to code up an early auction theory result due to Vickrey
   as a worked example for a PhD workshop I'm giving next month.

Sounds really cool!  Feel free to explain to us how proof assistants
are going to help out with Economics.  So you're the chairman of the
Mathematical Finance Department of Economics University of Birmingham?
I downloaded your paper
http://www.springerlink.com/content/e47110g182480115/fulltext.pdf from
your web page http://www.socscistaff.bham.ac.uk/rowat/ It looks
interesting.  How does Theorema compare to HOL Light?  This grabbed me:

   Arrow’s theorem in social choice has attracted the most attention,
   including studies by Wiedijk [18] using Mizar, Nipkow [15] using
   HOL, and Grandi and Endriss [6] using Prover9. Noncooperative game
   theory has also received attention, including by Vestergaard and
   co-authors [16] with Coq.
