I wonder: why is this not documented? More, why is it not possible to run 
a ./configure script that will detect and setup all needed things? IMHO, 
Answer "you should know what you are doing" is only an excuse: if a 
certain setup algorithm cannot be expressed via a script, there is 
somethin wrong with the algorithm. This also makes reproducing the results 
more difficult - instead of saying: I did "cvs co dri; ./configure && make 
World.LOG && make install" one has to explain "I did cvs co dri, run lndir 
...., edited host.def; oh, I applied extra patches from xxx, then I got an 
error during the compilation so I copied binaries from A to B, and finally 
I got something". 
I am interested in mach64 development (apparently same reason as most 
people: a laptop) and could contribute some of my spare time on testing, 
but it seems I should start from spending my time on testing the 
compilation, not the driver itself...

Opinions?
