i think it is like this:

1. thomas deprecated the use of [iem_anything_kernel] (and a helping 
abstraction) with the last iemlib-release (1.16), in favour of 
[iem_anything] (which does everything by itself)

2. thomas does not care or know about the "great unified build-system 
for all externals" (CVS:externals/build)

3. nobody else bothered to add iem_anything to the build system; but it 
still references to iem_anything_kernel (which is still lying around in 
thomas's sources)

4. most likely the installer you are using comes with the updated 
abstractions of iemlib (or non at all), so there is no more wrapping 
object for the [iem_anything_kernel]


how to fix it ?
short-term: get yourself an old release of iemlib (i guess 1.15 should 
do) and copy the [any] abstraction to somewhere you can access it.
long-term: add iem_anything to the build-system and remove 
iem_anything_kernel.
