For the next time as this has been fixed already: In general its nice to have 
the existing stable version of a project to work without requiring anyone to 
manually compile it.  Of course you shouldn't rush testing new buils though.

By the way, it is generally agreed that a huge part of new user experience is 
whether the new node quickly connects. And if I remember correctly, 
bootstrapping has always been slow and still is, so that experience sucks.
A huge aspect of that is that we have very few seednodes and the existing ones 
are therefore overloaded.
Also, having more seednodes would improve opennet security quite a bit as they 
are a single point of failure somehow - having very few makes opennet a rather 
centralized system.

This could be fixed by automatically enabling seed-mode on nodes if they are 
suitable. They need an open opennet port, and sufficient bandwidth. Those 
seednodes are of course useless if they are not in seednodes.fref. So the 
second aspect would be to write some kind of crawler which searches the 
network for those seednodes.

There is a bugtracker entry for seednode harvesting which probably explains 
more aspects of that.

Anyway, what I am trying to say: If you want to write some code, you might 
consider this.
