Fix is waiting on releng to get pushed.  Main cause was updating the tarball to 
latest supposedly "stable" ooo-build sources, into which Novell had pushed a few 
broken patches.  Will be more careful in the future, but the 1.1.2->1.1.3 
transition was difficult and people really seemed to want 1.1.3 for some reason.
