Hell, frozen over. It took me four evenings, one hour each evening, to tinker
and try and fail and try again. But now it loooks good:

(To test it, you need to have one or more saved playlists on your N900. Then open X-Term
and enter "mafw-play-list NameOfYourPlayList" and it should start the playback
of this playlist.)
Thanks for all the help and support - it's been a positive (community) but
still frustrating (technology) experience :-)
I guess once you're spoiled by something like the Compact Framework and Visual
Studio, a casual hoppy developer finds the current state of Maemo development
quite difficult to accept...
Mainly, there was a major pitfall that I fell into:
- In configure.ac, pkg_check_modules, I had to put mafw and mafw-shared as
dependencies
- But in the Build-Depends of the control file, I had to write libmafw0-dev and
libmafw-shared0-dev
Yes, perhaps I could make this a bit clearer in the wiki. Maybe a bit of
dpkg magic to determine which package owns a particular pkg-config file
would be helpful?
In addition, once something fails, it's still a bit unclear from the current
docs about where to continue/repeat which steps.
Yes, this is hard to solve in such a compact tutorial, as there are lots
of steps where something could fail, and it is difficult to find the
right balance between proding too much and too little information.
Contributions welcome ;)
