Thanks very much for your offer of help :)  I saw that the instructions
showed how to build images but wasn't sure that's how packages were
built, too.  Now I know that I can build anything that has a .bb file -
sweet.

Encouraged that it _should_ work, I tried again from scratch and got as
far as this error while trying to build python-mysqldb:
http://www.openembedded.org/the-q-a-team-strikes-back

That page suggests two courses of action.  I tried the override in
conf/bitbake.conf, but repeated attempts to build the package after
making that change yield the same error.  Do I need to do the equivalent
of a 'make clean' before that works?  Even if I get the override
working, I'm willing to help fix the problem in the build system, too,
as a way of giving back.

Please let me know what I can do to get past this.  Thanks!
