 this mean an official build will ''never'' support reading Djvu files via
 the Read activity?

 I am finding my way around (the hint I needed was found at
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Joyride#Output_from_the_Build_System )
 One can find the Joyride build (1790) supporting Djvu via the Read
 activity at:
