Nice script; I modified it a bit to work on my system, which doesn't have some 
of the development packages installed.  I also added checks for the configure 
stage to catch cases where the dependencies aren't satisfied.  Care to post 
it to the Development/git page for people to use?  It definitely comes in 
handy for building an initial test environment.
