Yep, pretty much my thinking.  But if it isn't easy...

Other than the start/stop scripts and the evil things Debian does to
PostgreSQL (installing two versions side-by-side, etc...) I don't think
there is much in the way of "distro variables".   Once one is beyond
compiling I believe WMOGAG contains all the information required to
setup OGo,  although some points could be elaborated a bit more.  Most
of the frustration I see on the list is in regards to people insisting
on using installation repositories.  Since ours aren't well tested or
maintained my recommendation is to take them down;  just provide tar
balls of releases and nightlies.

I'll work on compilation instructions (for trunk).
