The intention is that a single file build should never live in the same
place as the OpenLayers.js non-single file build that is inclued in
trunk. Generally:

  /openlayers/
  /openlayers/lib/OpenLayers.js <- non-singlefile
  /openlayers/OpenLayers.js <- single file

The file -- if any -- in /build/ is irrelevant, and the file that
'ships' in /openlayers/OpenLayers.js can be rebuilt with a full build at
any time.

However, it can't find the image folder or the theme folder, so I don't have the navigation elements, and firebug shows me that it's looking for them in the root folder /var/www, so /var/www/theme and /var/www/img. The same happens if I change the build path to /var/www/mapfish/client/mfbase/openlayers/lib/openlayers_sfl.js.
