That makes it a bit easier but still do not know the merits or not of 
stripping
zones in seenbys before passing to downlinks.

but it is a bit moot at the moment as I cannot compile mbse without errors
regarding libiconv and it is present as near as I can tell, see :

It is even happening on versions previously built.
