Yeah, but I have a lot of problems with those instructions.  I've found
that I generally have to convert all of the C code to Modula 3 and
rewrite the Makefiles as c-shell scripts before I can rebuild anything.
Sometimes I have to hand-compile stuff, too.  That's pretty tedious.

Of course, maybe this is just my own personal preferences showing
through.
