has there been any progress on this?  I changed my build tree around a bit
and now can't get past gnutls (as of this morning and over the last few
days) so I don't know whether any of the checksums have been fixed (i
realize from the above explanation that it is somewhat more difficult than
that)

I know from reading the OEDEM notes that there are thoughts about getting
build environments for stupid users (tm) like me (self assigned) that are
not the bleeding edge developer versions, but I would just like to get an
environment up to do some test builds for my htc tornado.

I greatly appreciate everyone's effort on the project - I'm eager to use
it.

Joshua
