I have Excel, and generating the Microsoft_Excel module doesn't work 
(MS Office X), I get a backtrace in gensuitemodule.addmodule, 
specifically on line 866: Module is '<module StdSuites.Required_Suite 
from /Library...>' and it doesn't have an attribute named 
'_propdeclarations' (nor '_enumdeclarations' and '_compdeclarations').

This is using a CVS Python of about a week old.

The output window of the IDE said:

X/Microsoft Excel'

manually

Excell was automaticly lauched during this processes.

MS Word has the same problem.
