Oof. I didn't even remember to check whether or not my custom
update-with-the-options-I-used-last-time script was getting a
non-default branch... I forget exactly why I was getting dev-api-4, but
whatever the reason was appears to be obsolete; the "default" branch
(gotten if no name is specified) now appears to match the needed API.

(That would appear to also explain why compile of XviD had failed until
I specified gcc 3.4 rather than 4.0.3...)

Sorry about the confusion.
