Ahh, ok, it all makes sense now. I stated by using the Frank bundle, that 
was no longer usable because dwt used svn with the changes it made. This 
lead to me not getting the installs to work from the svn version, but 
getting it to work with dsss. Which leads into why there is a linking 
problem, with a DSSS installed tango (which won't be there otherwise). 
Which means this can get really complicated. Since there was a change in 
Tango I associated my new split libraries to one of the changes Tango was 
making.
