Ah, thank you! I see -- I need a good chunk of what's in the filetree
inside the tarball (particularly the skin directory).
It's obvious enough now that you've pointed it out, but the directory
setup suggested a developer's source/build tree to me, so I didn't
really take much of it in beyond thinking I'd just want a target from
the build directory.
It's very kind of you to suggest that the instructions might be the
source of the misunderstanding, rather than my reading comprehension
skills, and naturally I'm somewhat biased towards agreeing with
you :). But while it may be that they could be improved to be more
specific about what someone would want from that tree -- I wonder if
it might just be better to have a differently packaged distribution
that's more amenable to drop-in use.
Another note about that tarball.... when I unpack it, the permissions
are a bit funny -- in particular, directories aren't marked
executable. This isn't too hard to fix ("sudo find . -type d -exec
chmod a+x {} \;" does it for me), but it could cause someone
frustration. Then again, it could be an artifact of my system (OS X
10.5.8).

It'd be cool if there were a way to have this kind of behavior as a
fallback to using a skins directory. Then again, that could cause more
than a little bloat and probably wouldn't be possible using JavaScript
only on browsers that don't support dataURIs...
Anyway, thanks much for the help!
