When I got back in town last night I rebuilt ooo-build 3.2.1.4.  This
time I did not use any --with-lang configure option or the patch from
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/ooo-build/2010-January/000473.html.
The build failed until I configured without using --enable-pdfimport.
Obviously the PDF Import extension was not built.  Neither was the
Presentation Minimizer extension.  However, I am now able to use
templates in Impress.
