OK, I finally got a couple of solid hours to figure out what's going 
on.  Seems that the code I got from git assumes that all of the xorg 
header files are in the src dir - but they don't get pulled in.  Copying 
stuff over just didn't work.  I went ahead fixed all of that to where it 
would pull in the header files from the correct dirs for debian lenny.

A git-diff is at http://www.seiner.com/debian-nouveau.diff

Let me know if this is useful.  I can either post it on the wiki or 
submit a bug report.

nouveau_drv.so built OK; the man page build crashed with
