Hi John,

The authors of NeoOffice started charging for binaries beginning with
version 3.2. (Technically, they are asking for a voluntary donation,
but it's mandatory if you want to get the latest binaries. Feel free to
draw your own conclusions. It's not unfair to say that this step generated
some controversy and some rather pointed opinions -- some well-argued,
some not.)

Anyway, I got curious about whether or not it would be possible to build
from source, which is posted in accordance with the GPL. Based on my
experience so far, the posted instructions _cannot_ be used to generate
the corresponding binaries, at least not as those instructions are
currently written.
