Ah ha!  OK, that makes sense.  I had been assuming that either a)
pre-existing links were OK in a re-save, or b) all existing links had
been converted.  My mistake.

That's what I was looking for - just didn't get far enough into that
thread on my archives.  Thanks!

Cool - I'll confirm that the libaxiom.mk fix is all that's needed and
then try again (building axiom silver now.)

No problem - thank you for putting the effort into keeping things
clean.  It might be worth looking at wikipedia - I think they have some
kind of bot which inspects changes and disallows the obvious spam,
although that's based on a comment I saw and I don't know much about
it.
