Actually, Philip is the one currently maintaining those packages :-) But 
due to the s/GSW/WO/g makefile hackery of GSWeb (which would have to be 
somehow mirrored in a PB package), he's trying the "conventional" route 
of building.  I haven't had time to really help him yet, except for a 
few pointers here and there.  But if others are not seeing any issues 
regarding apple-apple-apple, I'll try to help him out this afternoon 
(european time :-) ).
