try pulling from the git repo and compiling with libjannson 2?

I just got it working again a few days ago. I saw that the patch in
arch was a bit wrong... (and you do need to do a make install to find
the engines), and I updated to the later jannson lib long ago.

So hopefully we can fix the arch repo, too. But would still like to
have much tighter integration with org and emacs than it's got...

good to hear from you. I am re-entering emacs after too long away, as
I have a ton of rfc writing to do, and trying to make org-mode do more for
me than it already does (blogging, etc)

just read your excellent article and *.el files on that.

Thanks for giving it another shot. I find it so handy to just hit <f6> and
answer a question... (wish it did stuff at point, too... sigh)
