Thank you very much for your offer of help :)  I have been trying with
the instructions at
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom but I can't yet
make it all work.  It seems to _mostly_ work, though, and I hope I can
get it working so I can help contribute instead of be a burden.

To avoid multi-posting, I'm replying to Koen's message with the details
of what's failing.  Thanks again for your offer of help, and I very much
appreciate your offer to build the package I need.  I hope I can be
taught to fish, though, and then you won't need to give me a fish and
feed me for a day :)
