Since RC3, the Release Build Environment (RBE) has been redone.

Hi Felix: Wish I could chime in on this with a great solution, but, I’m still stuck in about the same place. When I talked with Jerome Shidell, he pointed me to the build environment and told me how to do the build. The only option was to build 1.3 RC2, I believe. Actually, that wasn’t a bad idea
