Technically, this could/should be resolved by requesting CSW builds of those
extensions.  I have already got a genshi package in the works because I have
been playing with Trac,  all I have to do is a couple tweaks to the build and
do a final commit.  I am running it on my test Trac server and it works great.
 ;)  I will finish it up next week.
