Maybe I was not clear?  I wasn't interested in getting it to work out of the
box, I was interested in building it.  If you gave me a 100% built and tested
tarball, I'd only delete it.  I wanted to build it, and knowing that it hasn't
got any build problems curretnly means (I guess) I can figoure out the build
problems I'm seeing.  I didn't mean to accuse anyone of anything, just trying ot
verify things so that I don't spend a bunch of time fising something that was
well known.

No problem with this, I'm just continuing.  I wasn't asking for help, was only
wondering if there was a mailing list dedicated to the task, actually, and the
first response made an assumption on my part which I didn't mean.  Why don't you
reread what I said above?  I didn't ask for help of any kind.

  Again, I think your life might be a lot simpler if you only saw
