It's a bit of a pain to get the pre-req's built but that's the fault of 
Berkeley db xml. For anyone else that may read this, if you want to get
syncato running in MUCH less time you can use file based storage and 99% 
of the dependencies go away. You just need libxml2 and
libxslt, and webware. Those are easy.

Cool. For the most part I like the way the stylesheets are layed out and 
how easy it is to customize once you get a feel how it all works together.
