Here's a new patch that fixes a few more things (but not the -b bug).

I noticed that when MAT's tests ran, out of 33 tests total, there were 3
failures, and 8 errors.  Curiously, this did not cause the build to
fail.  The 3 failures have something to do with not being able to
process a .docx file.  The 8 errors seem to occur because a variable
"current_file" in the test has an unexpected value (None).  If we decide
to add this package, we should probably fix or disable the tests and
find out why the test failures did not cause the build to fail.

I attempted to get MAT's GUI component working, but I was unsuccessful.
To build the GUI component, it seems we would first need to add Python
bindings for libpoppler, such as python-poppler [1], and python-poppler
can't be built without some extra love and patches [2][3].
