As Richard points out in the Consolidated Pull, this is the wrong way to 
go about this, there are possibly other places that will have similar 
issues and we can't fix then all this way.

A better solution is to add a sanity check and suggest that the user 
needs to fix their environment to ensure the build will succeed.
