Just a quick note, in case anyone's wondering.

I've got the packaging basically done, barring some final fixes to the
hi-res timer classes for non-i386 platforms, and some testing on a
machine that's actually fast enough to run the damn thing.

To give you an idea, my PowerBook G4 1.5Ghz w/r300-class card is
kinda jerky. There's some work being done to optimised OpenJPEG,
I'm waiting to see which parts of that go into the upstream OpenJPEG
though.

However, the major barrier is that the artwork needed for the skin of
the client is released under a CC BY-SA 2.5 license, which is not
DFSG-free. I've emailed the licenses@ email address where the source
code is, but without response as yet.

The CC-BY-SA license doesn't prevent _me_ distributing the software, so
once I have this portability stuff sorted out and a full-speed test run,
I'll put the packages up in my personal webspace for initial criticism.

I also haven't yet run through all the source in the package to confirm
it's properly licensed, but the stuff I _have_ looked at has been fine
so far.

I've packaged 1.14.0.1, which was current last time I looked, but I've
had a busy fortnight so I haven't checked if they've upgrade to 1.14.1.1
on the live grid yet.

(Moving to 1.14.1.1 won't be hard, happily. I've built a test package of
the 1.14.1.1 beta source drop as well.)

For reference, it's almost exactly three hours to build on my laptop,
and the final link command line is over 38.5k.
