OK.  If no one else takes it, I volunteer to look into that over the 
weekend.  I'm not a good candidate, though, since the software base 
here at work is so huge that our build tools are rather specialized.  
I've never had to mess with them, so I never learned how to do it.

If someone else has some experience with that sort of stuff, and a
desire to do a project that doesn't require a lot of Freenet-specific
background knowledge, please speak up.  Otherwise I'll do some research
on it over the weekend, and report back on Monday or so.
