Steven's right -- this is a lot of work. In addition to configuring and
building on Linux, Mac, Windows, and BSD with all the optional features and
flags (and cross-compiling to OSX and Windows from Linux), there is nearly
1000 lines of packaging code (Windows, Mac, Debian, Mac App Store) you'd
have to port as well. Not my idea of fun :) and it has zero user benefit.
Not to mention updating the documentation (the mixxx wiki mostly)

Tuukka, I think it'd be much better if you applied your skills and free
time contributing to something that would have a user benefit.

Best regards,
RJ
