Flightgear needs some serious help. I started to work on it, but can't
anymore since I don't have the UP2000 to compile on (the SX takes
FOREVER to compile it). I had it displaying the splash screen during my
last attempt, but it was bombing when reading scenery. I'll see if I
still have a patch somewhere to get it at least that far (think I do).
FYI, I'm also working on getting GNAT built, but it's an exercise in
patience (which I lack). I need to get another drive in this beast and
install Tru64 on it since the i386 cross-compile just didn't work out and
I think it has something to do with the 32->64 bit problems.
If anyone has a Tru64 machine that they can loan me some cycles on, I
would greatly appreciate it since it would save me a ton of time tearing
my machine apart. Write me off-list if you have an offer :-)

I'm sure he'll pick up on this mail, but I'll ask him about it just in
case.

Ivan's been a pretty busy fellow lately. Him and I have been working on
getting Kamera compiled with the rest of kdegraphics (I had to ITP and
package libgpio in a day to get this going). We've hit some wrinkles,
though, and I know he's also been busy working on a better prelink for KDE
as well.
