RE: Building on linux

That's terrific!  I'll start reviewing the code and attempting to check it
in.

I know there is has been some code exchange back and forth on the list
without the code being committed; if this includes other people's changes
too please let me know so I can credit everyone appropriately when I commit
the code.

Also, you don't mention it, but I'm hoping that this code also compiles and
runs ok under VC++?  We haven't yet had to branch the code base for
gcc/Linux/MacOS ports.  I'm open to advice on the best way to do that
when/if it is necessary.
