Yeah, I thought this was a bit familiar. Thing is, last time around never
reached a successful conclusion. I just got tired of the runaround and
gave up.

I'm trying to bring that one system into conformance with about 8 other
systems I use org on; getting the config in my .emacs right is simple
(it's already in the script that customizes my standard .emacs file for a
particular system, which I check out from my Subversion repository onto
each new system).
It bugs me to have to hack around the standard install procedure, but I
suppose that's my problem.

I wonder if that will work? I think the problem is that byte-compile
doesn't work when there's run-time code to avoid the execution of things
that don't exist in the current version, since the byte-compile has to
convert everything.
