Hi there Justin,

I just got your posting on hte newsgroup and I've just managed to compile 
the main source, alpha and xgrass on our system yesterday.  I haven't 
gotten a chance to really look at the differences in the source for the 
contrib directory yet; I'll attempt to get the other directories (related 
and garden) directories later today.  I would appreciate a list of the 
changes you had made (to email pcb at is.dal.ca -- I guess the university, 
in all it's wisdom, decided to shut down email accounts a month before 
classes are due to begin again).  I'll have to get that reinstated.

Anyhow, once I get your list, I'll email you back with a list of the 
changes that I had to make (if I can remember them all.. at the very 
least, the difference between what I did and what you did) and we can get 
this info hopefuly at least included in an updated FAQ.  God knows I've 
wasted a tad more time than anticpiated trying to get this to work.

Thanks,
Bill
