Spice testing

For a while, Spice stopped showing me video. I tried a number of things. Then rebuilt it from scratch, it worked again. Not sure exactly why. But I'm starting to get a nagging feeling that dependencies are not entirely correct in the makefiles.

Tao

Ran into an old problem, so I lifted an old blog entry talking about it. Error was:

compiling ../tao/xlr/xlr/basics.cpp

                 from /usr/include/c++/6.3.1/bits/basic_string.h:5402,

Need to find a way to make this more "persistent". But that will probably have to wait for the work I'm presently doing on XL during my night shift.
