Sorry to follow up again. David, is there any way that you can leverage
these two documents?:

http://ubicomp.lancs.ac.uk/%7Emartyn/sdcc_linux

http://www.micahcarrick.com/v2/content/view/14/8

There's no point in rewriting what works as long as it works. 

Can you take a quick read and outline what in your list is missing from
those documents.

It's the web man! We should utilize its power!
