[texhax] Any idea why powerdot would get downgraded post-TeXLive 2015?

[Ted Pavlic]

After uninstalling TL17, installing TL18, and then using tlmgr to
--reinstall powerdot, everything is building fine again. The shift from
TL15 to TL17 definitely prevented my old presentations from rendering with
the correct paper geometry, but things are working now with TL18.

Thanks --
Ted
