The 2.2 package builds the extensions without any problems, at least on 
my system.

The daily snapshot of the extensions (for use with pre-2.2 versions, 
which didn't come with the extensions) no longer (as far as I can tell) 
contain the setup files, probably because they've been rolled into the 
package setup files for 2.2.  I was just suggesting that rather than 
maintain two seperate setup environments (one for standalone, one for 
the package) it may have been more convenient to leave an older version 
of the extensions (before the setup was moved into the package) on the 
FTP for pre-2.2 users.  Of course, if the setup files could make their 
way back into the snapshots, that would probably be better.
