That would be pretty cool, if anyone else wants it.  Don't do it for me
alone.

That's kind of how I've been doing it and planning on continuing doing
it.  It works... but is a tad bit slower than a dedicated box at home.

That's a pain...  :-)

Of course, a prebuilt tarball would probably conflict with something.  I

8080... :-)

I have two computers though.  Could put it on the other (slower) one.
