Thanks for looking into this.

Between Peter=E2=80=99s changes to layouts and Alex=E2=80=99s changes to =
requires, things are much more fragile than they were.

Both sets of changes will be good once ironed out, but there=E2=80=99s =
still work to do to get there.

I=E2=80=99ve been getting weird errors related to missing dependencies =
and requires. I need to come up with some simple test cases to =
demonstrate them though.

Getting all the examples to compile and work is probably the best way to =
see if we can get these issues resolved.
