Actually the process didn't make it all the way through, and blew up on:

Byte compiling packages/phps-mode/phps-mode-wy.el
Unable to activate package ‘ebdb-i18n-chn’.
Required package ‘pyim-1.6.0’ is unavailable
*** redefining precedence of ‘%precedence’

In toplevel form:
packages/phps-mode/phps-mode-wy.el:270:17: Error: Symbol ‘exit_expr’ is used, 
but is not defined as a token and has no rules
make: *** [GNUmakefile:173: packages/phps-mode/phps-mode-wy.elc] Error 1

Let me know if there's a more useful or systematic way I can report
these errors or help fix them.
