Is the build process documented somewhere?  I casual glance about the 
source tree doesn't reveal anything up-to-date that includes everything 
you need to do (in particular, what the expected method of slurping in 
the libraries is).

This used to be nicely automated via the Makefile at the top-level - 
has this been kept up-to-date?  The last time I tried to use it, it 
failed, but the problem appeared to be MacOS-specific, so I don't know 
if it would go through on a regular linux box or not.
