Since its all cross dependent, I pull and build lwtools first just so 
that the latest can be available for toolshed and nitros9.  So my script 
does it all. in sequence. Normally takes around 10 minutes for all of 
it.  With srcfrg's pickyness, designed to make you join to get rid of 
it, or whatever their reason is, its taking 20 minutes just to get to 
the bailout point of toolshed. I use && as line ends in my script so if 
there is an error, it bails out right there with the error on screen.

But I messed with this enough for today as I have a pair of riders 
scattered about the driveway, moving a good transaxle from a newer JD to 
and older Craftsman whose tranny is stuck in 2nd gear, using a cable 
hoist and a tripod about 8 feet tall to pick things up as needed.  The 
assemblies are identical and have been for 40 years as all of the under 
$2k rider are made by MTD & painted according to the brand, so just 
moving the accessorys like gear shift lever and brake assembly from one 
to the other is all the adaptation needed.  And I need to get to it. I 
thought I had a body lined up to mow the old place across town just to 
keep the city happy, he showed up looking for work about 2ish last 
afternoon, and was to mow the old place and this one. Haven't seen him 
since. So my stuff is pushing 2 feet tall and I need to "get to it" and 
get a working mower built. I did spend some time friday looking at new 
ones, but it costs $1800 to get rid of the briggs and scrapiron motors 
(or kawasaki which is even worse, often blowing up before the paint's 
dry) and get a kohler engine.

So later on this project. :( Probably another 2 days.
