Question mschiuster raised on IRC which should be on the mailing list: what to 
do when package builds fail.

Here's what happens when you do (say) make build-qt in Dude/SPECS:

- if there is no source tarball, one is created
- pkgtool is invoked
  - this unpacks the source tarball
  - a build is started in ~/packages/BUILD/FOSSqt/

Note that changing things in the source directories in Dude has *no* effect 
unless you re-create the tarball (otherwise the if just uses the old one). So 
make clean-qt build-qt if you're fiddling with things in the source trees. 
Alternatively, you can go look in ~/packages/BUILD/FOSSqt/ (subdiretories 
amd64 and i386 contain copies of the source and build trees) and if need be 
run make there or do whatever to figure out the build problem.
