I tried pegging my system at the 1.0.0 libs that are available, that didn't 
work too well.

The wm (e17 itself) is not released yet so unless you keep it at a snapshot 
made at the time of the 1.0.0 release you quickly encounter build failures. 
Same with the various apps in svn and all the third-party modules.

Seems like the releases were meant to be a (mostly) feature-complete snapshot 
that devs could use to test and evaluate and write apps for. Real world 
dictates that if you like to stay current you should either limit yourself to 
only those things released already, or keep everything at -9999
