Well, most of the elementary stuff builds and installs on my system but
I don't regard it being release quality:

- It should work on current Linux systems
- At least GTK2, GLIB2 and Kerberos detection need more work.
- Install works, but packaging (deb, rpm, ...) and source packaging don't.
- The docbook stuff is horrible and needs to be (at least partially) redone.
- Non-Linux Unix'ish OSses might or might not work - tests and reports
  always welcome.
- Windows is out of the scope of what *I* can support right now, as I lack
  Windows, a build-environment and the knowledge for it.

That said, compiling and installing *should* work and if it doesn't I'm
interested in bugreports!

Should we ship all the Cmake stuff in the tarballs so more people can 
play with it (e.g., those without SVN access), even if it's not "release 
quality?"

From my point of view: Sure  :-)

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
