Well, using the buildme.sh script isn't as straightforward as it
seemed.

I first had to tweak it because I wasn't using perlbrew (tried to, but
it wasn't working properly through scratchbox2).

Then, I had to modify Audio::Scan's Makefile.PL to make it use my
carefully set $CPPFLAGS and $LDFLAGS environment variables, rather than
blindly assuming that zlib include files and libs were located under
/usr/include and /usr/lib.

I had to do the same with Image::Scale later.

In between, I had to modify the build_libpng function from the
buildme.sh script so that it wouldn't hide those same environment
variables to libpng's configure script.

Back to Image::Scale, I've seen that "make test" was failing, but it
was continuing anyway: it looks like only the MacOS ppc test would make
the buildme.sh die.
I did like I hadn't seen anything.

Then, it was IO::Interface that was failing to pass the tests, probably
because qemu doesn't implement some system calls.
At this point, I've decided to disable any test until I get the basic
problems solved.

At the next try, Linux::Inotify failed to compile, probably because the
libc version I'm using, tied to Linux 2.4, is too old to support the
required system calls.
Disabled it, and running a new test now.

I'm wondering if I'll get this build somewhat working someday...
