	Actually I've been working on a unified and *simple* build and
install scheme for the entire gEDA suite for GNU/Linux and maybe other
Unix systems.  I've almost got it all (gEDA/gaf (C), iverilog (C++),
and gspiceui (C++) to start; rest should be easy) working where I can
generate a set of binaries (contained within a .tar.gz with a trivial
installer) that can be run on virtual any Linux distribution from say
~July 2001 going forward.  I'll generate a demo tarball soon.
