IIRC if you take
https://github.com/openannotation/annotator/archive/v1.2.9.tar.gz as
such, do a npm install, and run make, a git "fatal error" shows up. This

	1) happens because of the code at tools/preamble
	2) is not so "fatal", because compilation goes on
	3) was misleading me; it made me git clone the "master" branch, where I
got rid of that error, but I got lost.
