Hi Alex,

I’m using FInk for the dependencies, and am attempting to build from my 
mercurial archive. Which means I don’t have an info-file setup. However, I am 
using scripts to patch, configure, and make. Once I’ve had a chance to review 
the scripts and clean up any obvious probelms I’ll email them to you.
