Thanks, I hoped it was something as easy as that.

I couldn't find any documentation on how to write for the autobuilder so I
knocked up the beginnings of a page:
http://www.riscos.info/index.php/Autobuilder_development
(this was actually an existing page with minimal content that I recycled -
anyone's free to rename it if they like)

I then noticed that there's lots of details in autobuilder/Autobuilder.html
and autobuilder/Packaging.html.  Is there any particular reason these are in
the source tree not the wiki?  Currently the only way to view them if you
don't have a source tree is to use webSVN and read the HTML source, which
isn't great.

No problem, I realised that. I just didn't have the time to grab
everything and rebuild it all from scratch again, and was prepared to put up
with any brokenness.  AFAICS it worked fine once I flipped the
AB_ELFBUILD switch.

Thanks,
Theo
