I've been able to revert back to Wroclaw from the newer trunk. I fixed the
issues I was having there.
That said, I have still been unable to get the MrSID issue fixed. GDAL shows
that it has MrSID support. I get an unsupported format error when trying to
add a .sid raster to qgis. Going to help - about in QGIS shows me it is
currently using GDAL 1.8.
