With everything up to date, I'm still seeing errors.

I built itstool with PYTHON_VERSION_DEFAULT=37.  With that, gnumeric
builds, packages, and runs.  I don't really want to try to fix itstool
with python 2.7, and my impression is that the world is starting to
abandon 2.7.

Are you (or anyone0 able to build gnumeric112 on netbsd-8 with default
mk.conf (python particularly)?  Anyplace else?

So I'd like to apply this patch as a bugfix to itstool.
