I just rebuilt one from scratch and put my notes up at:

What did you replace the constant with? kCurrentCFragArch, I believe is an
old value from the Universal Headers. See my notes for a value that seems
to work.

Yup.

I didn't test this out explicitly, but I did play with several "Play with
Me" examples. Does that happen to invoke named plugins?

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said but,
I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
