Michael,

for me (anyone else) it is in the range of minutes to add missing
commands:
 - create a Makefile (recycle another one)
 - create a directory
 - add to tools/link.conf the crosslinking to 5.3
 - make mix
 - compile

Whatever you remember to be missing, just post it.
Sorry to insist, but we should make the move to 5.7 and not
stick with older versions for years.

ok, I'll stay tuned.
