Simple answer: I don't know.  All I can tell you is that when I installed, I 
made special point to being sure that I installed ALL the options.  So far 
I've had real bad luck with existing projects, but have been able to build 
new projects using the existing unit files without trouble.
(A case of the blind leading the blind here, maybe somebody that knows what 
they're talking about will jump in and help)
