Thanks! I have been looking for something like
this. I have been involved with lots of other
projects and have thus been reduced to a real
lurker on this group.

I have been trying to bring the open source
stuff into the graphic arts community. It is very
tough sledding. People are very used to being
isolated from many of the technical details of
things. A lot scares them. I have been trying to
get around this. Having a build plan that works
is a big step in the right direction.

Have Fun,
Sends Steve
