Rick,

You don't have to build it, they have a dnsmasq-full package that includes
it. But be aware that this pulls in about 400k of other packages to support
the DNSSEC function, so you need to have the available flash to support it.

I've had very good luck with building a custom image using the OpenWrt Image
Builder tool. They pre-compile all the packages, you download the tarball,
and then the makefile will put together what you want, and leave out what
you don't want. For example, I can get dnsmasq-full onto an image for my
current router if I leave out luci. But since I've already got the
configuration I need, that's not a great loss. You can also include the conf
files in the custom image, so when the router comes up after flashing it is
already configured and ready to roll. 
Crunching packages into a custom image is also a lot more efficient than
adding them to the /overlay file system after install.

... and btw, you have to start with Barrier Breaker to get the
DNSSEC-capable dnsmasq. They are currently on -rc3, and it seems to be going
Ok for me so far.

hth,

Doug
