Hmm, I forgot to get back with that.  Sorry.  :(  I went out and enjoyed a 
cigarette and thunk about it some, and figured that it probably wasn't 
finding a file and instead of exiting with a useful error message it was just 
crashing (alpha software and all, right?).  So I came back in, remembering a 
previous post I saw here to another guy having trouble with the main CF game, 
did make install, and it ran fine, mostly.

I'm getting random crashes in both CoMET and CF right now.  I'll try to get a 
core dump or something in the near future, since you're absolutely right 
about the sdl error message being worthless.
