Just a quick announcement that I rolled up v0.9.9-pre3 tonight. I had
screwed up and missed a file in the base package, and then some other
changes got snuck into simgear/flightgear so I figured I might as well
roll out another try.

Hi Steve,
I had the same problem today after compiling new SimGear/FlightGear CVS.
Although I had downloaded FlightGear CVS data with cvs update -d -P I
got the message
