@baxx If you are using framemethod=tikz, mdframed should load TikZ if it hasn't been loaded before. About xcolor, Marco has an option in the package as well, but he recommends that if you plan to load xcolor explicitly, do it before mdframed.
The ability to "mod-ping" any user
I'm not a mod, but I understand this is a power that exists... Maybe it will be helpful to address users directly, without hassle.
configure: error: ../../../source/auxdir/auxsub/configure failed for auxdir/auxsub
strip: 'build/texk/web2c/xetex.exe': No such file
ls: cannot access build/texk/web2c/xetex.exe: No such file or directory
@JosephWright yes I wondered if I should try to build tl instead, I was building from the xetex code git cloned from sorceforge. automake is OK until it witters on for half an hour and make claims some file that google says automake should have made isn't there.....
@ChristianHupfer Like I said, for the purposes of testing I might end up using Ubuntu for the task at hand: will depend on the outcome of my experiments

Ezechiel 25,17: The path of the righteous Linux man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men (OS X or Windows). Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. ... etc ;-)
@JosephWright I remember the old days when HP-UX only provided a very basic C compiler, with which I was finally able to compile gcc2 and then also a TeX system based on Web2C.
@JosephWright: No, not in the sense of collaboration on papers etc. However, I have to transfer bad WORD (No, don't say 'IT') documents to LaTeX in my teacher training courses.
@egreg I bet none of them wanted to alter the permissions on /usr/local :-)
@ChristianHupfer Makes a difference (not just Word, but also ChemDraw for me is essential, plus other specialist stuff for instruments and some programs where I feel the Windows offerings are the best)

@yo' Yah... in the past we've had some badge-hunters (I feel), reviewing content as "No Action Required" without any consideration. It comes and goes...
The following is taken from What are the review queues, and how do they work?:
The review queues (also known as review tasks) contain posts that possibly need community attention, as determined by the system or other community users. You are shown these posts, one at a time, and you "review" ...
In my document I need to work with the package imakeidx because I need two indexes. I like to have defined a list (if possible directly in the preamble) which lists the index entries in this non-alphabetical order:
Lukas\\
Johannes\\
Römer\\
1. Korinther\\
2. Korinther\\
Galater\\
1. Johanne...
@egreg -- most of the comments (and there are many) don't seem to address the core question. maybe you can do better. (the answer, i believe, is "no", but i would be happy to be shown to be wrong.
@egreg -- i think he wants to be able, in his preamble, to provide a pre-ordered list of how he wants the entries sorted. he wants entries ordered by the canonical order of books in the bible, the only way i can think of to do that is to assign numbers, and give those as the sort field. looks to me like it probably goes to three levels; at least two.
@egreg -- i could probably rewrite it (assuming i really do understand what the op wants), but i'm struggling with a keyboard i'm not used to, and don't have any facilities for testing or "exploring" anything. (i really do have to come to an understanding with my laptop.) the op did make a sensible response to my comment, so i think i'm on the right track.
@egreg -- looks pretty good. i suggested a 2-digit number since there are more than 9 book in the bible. if the op likes it, may i suggest a brief item for tugboat? i wouldn't have figured it reasonable to define something like this in the preamble but i guess it's feasible with a well-defined, limited set of terms.
I gave up with the xetex git repro as the makefile generaqted by automake died after a compiling stuff for several minutes with missing dependencies I couldn't trace, but the svn of texlive (rsync'ed actually) built without bother once I said not to include X-windows (I have X but one of them was causing bother I didn't want to look at, but everything else seems to have built)
