[Qgis-developer] Getting Sextante from GitHub core to work with QGIS 1.8.0

[Rudi von Staden]

Thanks, that did the trick. I can see that building the full QGIS would
make sense though, so I'll get my build environment set up to do that. For
now it's good to know how to just compile sextante though.

Thanks,
Rudi
